基于知识的系统通常将其知识表示为相互关联单元的网络。这种网络通常以由线连接的节点图的形式呈现给用户。这些图表为知识表示提供了强有力的视觉隐喻。然而，随着知识库（KB）的增长，它们的复杂性很容易变得难以管理。本文描述了一种基于虚拟博物馆隐喻的导航知识结构的替代视觉表示。这种表示使用嵌套框而不是链接节点来表示关系。知识库的复杂结构通过位置、大小、颜色和字体提示的组合来传达，MUE（博物馆单元编辑器）使用这种表示来实现，为Cyc知识库提供图形前端。
Knowledge-based systems often represent their knowledge as a network of interrelated units. Such networks are commonly presented to the user as a diagram of nodes connected by lines. These diagrams have provided a powerful visual metaphor for knowledge representation. However, their complexity can easily become unmanageable as the knowledge base (KB) grows. This paper describes an alternate visual representation for navigating knowledge structures, based on a virtual museum metaphor. This representation uses nested boxes rather than linked nodes to represent relations. The intricate structure of the knowledge base is conveyed by a combination of position, size, color, and font cues, MUE (Museum Unit Editor) was implemented using this representation to provide a graphic front end for the Cyc knowledge base.
