HUA Bolin / Types and description rules of knowledge elements about methods in academic papers 149

Keyword list and domain subject word list were used to filter domain words. Thus we had linear
structures on sentence, for example, “.. is...”, “the method has a disadvantage..”,” the method was
adopted to conduct...”. We manually review all the sentence structure and recognize the type of
knowledge elements. Then we categorize all the method description sentences according to the
structure. it gives us the method knowledge element rules. The construction process is depicted in
Figure 1.

3 Results

How to describe method knowledge element is a key problem. To solve this problem, this paper
proposed 5 key elements of a method knowledge element, i.e. definition, feature, relation, process
and functionality. These 5 elements form 5 types of method knowledge elements, i.e. method
definition knowledge element, method relation knowledge element, method feature knowledge
element, method process knowledge element, method functionality knowledge element, which is
shown in Figure 2.
