Different methods for representing this type of knowledge have been proposed. However, due to the lack of theoretical foundations, these methods cannot guarantee criteria in knowledge representation such as formality, universality, usability and practicality. They are not adequate to represent the knowledge domains in practice which have many components. Based on formal ontology approach, a knowledge model about relations, called Rela-model, is presented in this paper. It has the components such as concepts, relations between concepts, and rules. The concepts in this model consist of attributes, facts and rules of itself. Each object in a concept has also equipped its behavior to solve problems on it. The methods for solving problems based on Rela-model are also studied. The general problems on this model are the following: Given some objects and facts on them, determine the closure of set of attributes and facts on the objects or determine an object or consider a relation between the objects. The algorithms to solve problems are designed and their properties, such as finiteness, effectiveness, have also been proved. Besides the solid mathematical foundation, Rela-model also has a simple specification language which can effectively represent the knowledge, thus it can be used in many real situations. Our approach is also applied to build two systems: the intelligent problem solver about solid geometry in high school mathematics, and the expert system to diagnose diseases in diabetic microvascular complication. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218194018500304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,31]],"date-time":"2018-08-31T05:44:31Z","timestamp":1535694271000},"page":"1047-1090","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Knowledge-Based Model of Expert Systems Using Rela-Model"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Nhon V.","family":"Do","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Faculty, University of Information Technology, Vietnam National University \u2014 Ho Chi Minh city, (VNU-HCM), Vietnam"}]},{"given":"Hien D.","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Faculty, University of Information Technology, Vietnam National University \u2014 Ho Chi Minh city, (VNU-HCM), Vietnam"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Selamat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UTM-IRDA Digital Media Center of Excellence, University Teknologi Malaysia &amp; Faculty of Computing.
