%0 Report %A Chaudhri, Vinay K. and Waldinger, Richard and Starr, Barbara and Good, Benjamin %T Pragmatic Axiomatization Techniques %I SRI International %D 2000 %X This paper is about domain-independent theoretical generalizations derived in the process of formalizing aspects of commonsense reasoning. One of the generalizations is a qualitative model that has a template structure, can be applied to multiple reasoning tasks. Another model reduces to a composition of linear orders, making it easy to argue its formal properties. These models allow the population of a knowledge base (KB) by non-logicians. We present experimental results on evaluation of these, and other, models by subject matter experts (SMEs). %U http://www.ai.sri.com/pubs/files/1530.pdf
