现有的科学建模工具提供的支持，以改善模型，以响应数据，而科学知识发现的计算方法提供的用户输入的机会很少。在本文中，我们提出了一种语言，用于说明过程模型和背景知识的科学家熟悉的条款，沿着的知识发现，让用户构建，编辑和可视化的科学模型，使用它们来进行预测，并修改它们，以更好地适应现有的数据的交互式环境。我们报告的初步研究在三个领域，说明了这个环境的操作和用户研究的结果进行了领域的科学家。最后，我们讨论了模型形式主义和修订的相关工作，并提出了进一步研究的优先事项。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Existing tools for scientific modeling offer little support for improving models in response to data, whereas computational methods for scientific knowledge discovery provide few opportunities for user input. In this paper, we present a language for stating process models and background knowledge in terms familiar to scientists, along with an interactive environment for knowledge discovery that lets the user construct, edit, and visualize scientific models, use them to make predictions, and revise them to better fit available data. We report initial studies in three domains that illustrate the operation of this environment and the results of a user study carried out with domain scientists. Finally,we discuss related efforts on model formalisms and revision and suggest priorities for additional research. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
