Retrieving Relevant Experiences.

In order to enable the efficient reuse of collected experience knowledge, the identification of the most relevant experiences with respect to the current reuse need is one of the most crucial issues. One approach for supporting this process with AI methods is the application of similarity-based retrieval techniques developed in the area of Case-Based Reasoning. We describe the basic idea of this approach and present a novel open source tool which simplifies the development of knowledge-based retrieval functionality in experience management applications.
