Abstract: This paper presents a general discussion of the role of formal methods in Knowledge
Engineering. We give an historical account of the development of the field of
Knowledge Engineering towards the use of formal methods. Subsequently, we discuss
the pro's and cons of formal methods. We do this by summarising the proclaimed
advantages, and by arguing against some of the commonly heard objections against
formal methods. We briefly summarise the current state of the art and discuss the
most... (Update)
