<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Reading the wikipedia doc, It seems that a
knowledgebase does not only contain data in a "Rule Format" but</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>even other kind of information. For instance
information like the "object model".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as I understood the rulebase does not
contain anything related to the object\fact model.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I would say that the rulebase is "part of" the
knowledge base and not the "knowledgebase" itself.</FONT></DIV>
