Towards Semantic Knowledge Base Definition

The paper is a wide survey over one of the knowledge representation and processing solutions, namely knowledge bases. Due to current terminological inconsistency authors propose the complex definition of knowledge base in the field of knowledge representation. The overview of the most common reality description methods is provided in order to discuss its usefulness in knowledge base design. Authors not only give the definition of the knowledge base but also prove its completeness on the example of Semantic Knowledge Base project. The project aims at developing the general domain knowledge base using ontology base and semantic networks as basic knowledge representation methods.
