Selecting an Expert [6]

Criteria to consider for selecting the expert whose expertise you will encode (continued):
You'd like an expert who is a good communicator. Your expert doesn't have to be a great orator, but does need to be able to communicate with you informally over extended periods of time. You will have to interview the expert one-on-one to extract the knowledge that will be encoded in the knowledge base.
It's a plus if your expert is good at identifying sources of expertise to extend his or her existing expertise. Many knowledge bases are going to be dynamic, requiring updates as the state of knowledge evolves. It will be helpful if you can get some insights into how the expert continues to learn about the problem domain.
Once your human expert and other forms of expertise are identified and available, you are ready to begin creating the knowledge base.
