Definition#

Packages can be used to define knowledge bases in KnowWE on different articles. Knowledge markups like Questions and Rules can be added to certain packages and the packages can later be added to a knowledge base. By default, all markups are in the package "default" which is also the package compiled by default by a KnowledgeBase.

Also, ontologies are defined within the package mechanism.

Syntax#

There are different ways to use packages other than the default package.

Add all knowledge markups to a package at once#

You can add the following markup in an arbitrary position on the article.

%%Package myPackageName

By doing this, all markups of this article are in the pagacke "myPackageName".

Add a single knowledge markup to a package#

Almost all knowledge markup support the annotation "@package: myPackageName".

Example:
%%Question
Quest A
- question1 [oc]
-- answer1
-- answer2 

@package: myPackageName
%

Define a knowledge base containing a certain package#

After adding knowledge markups to a certain package, the package can be compiled to a certain knowledge base using the following markup.

%%Knowledgebase

@uses: myPackageName
%

The knowledge base downloadable in this markup will then only contain the knowledge defined for the used package. It is also possible to compile multiple markups and to add knowledge markups to multiple packages.
