Abstract
The paper describes a framework for constructing knowledge level models. The framework assumes that descriptions can be constructed from three perspectives: models, methods, and tasks. A workbench is introduced that supports the interactive specification of knowledge level models. The role of the symbol level is described. The problem of reuse is briefly discussed within this context.
