Knowledge Acquisition and Documentation Structuring KADS is a structured way of developing knowledge-based systems (expert systems). It was developed at the University of Amsterdam as an alternative to an evolutionary approach and is now accepted as the European standard for knowledge based systems.

Its components are:

  • A methodology for managing knowledge engineering projects.
  • A knowledge engineering workbench.
  • A methodology for performing knowledge elicitation.

KADS was further developed into CommonKADS.
