Approaches to knowledge representation:
1. Simple relational knowledge:
• It is the simplest way of storing facts which uses the relational
method, and each fact about a set of the object is set out
systematically in columns.
• This approach of knowledge representation is famous in database
systems where the relationship between different entities is
represented.
• This approach has little opportunity for inference.

2. Inheritable knowledge:
• In the inheritable knowledge approach, all data must be
stored into a hierarchy of classes.
• All classes should be arranged in a generalized form or a
hierarchal manner.
• In this approach, we apply inheritance property.
• Elements inherit values from other members of a class.
• This approach contains inheritable knowledge which shows
a relation between instance and class, and it is called
instance relation.
• Every individual frame can represent the collection of
attributes and its value.
• In this approach, objects and values are represented in
Boxed nodes.
• We use Arrows which point from objects to their values.
3. Inferential knowledge
• Inferential knowledge approach represents knowledge in the
form of formal logics.
• This approach can be used to derive more facts.
• It guaranteed correctness.
• Example: Let's suppose there are two statements:
• Marcus is a man man(Marcus)
• All men are mortal ∀x = man (x) ---> mortal (x)
4. Procedural knowledge
• Procedural knowledge approach uses small programs and codes which
describes how to do specific things, and how to proceed.
• In this approach, one important rule is used which is If-Then rule.
• In this knowledge, we can use various coding languages such as LISP
language and Prolog language.
• We can easily represent heuristic or domain-specific knowledge using
this approach.
• But it is not necessary that we can represent all cases in this approach.
Statements:
1.Jerry is a cat.
2.Jerry is a mammal
3.Jerry is owned by Priya.
4.Jerry is brown colored.
5.All Mammals are animal.
