Why is a knowledge base different from a database?

  • A.It derives facts that were never explicitly stored
  • B.It stores its records in a different physical format
  • C.It can be queried in a natural rather than formal language
  • D.It holds a larger quantity of information than a database

Answer: A

A database returns what was put in, while a knowledge base returns what follows, so a query may be answered by a chain of inference over facts none of which mentions the query directly. Format, query language and size are engineering differences of degree. That the answer to a question may be present only implicitly, and must be computed, is the whole point of the machinery and the reason its cost is worth paying.
