Abstract
This paper describes a system that uses the Object-Oriented (O-O) paradigm to form a representational model of survey data with an associated production rule system which improves the quality of this data through a process called imputation. It identifies the problems associated with the current methods for data representation and quality improvement of survey data. The OOKBI (Object-Oriented Knowledge Based Imputation) system is a prototype system we have developed that alleviates some of these stated problems and enables the imputation of survey data represented in Object-Oriented form to improve its quality.
