Uniform Access to Knowledge

When every module within an agent has access to all of the agents knowledge, the agent is said to have uniform access to knowledge or to have open knowledge. This is different from uniform representation of knowledge which in most cases means declarative knowledge. Uniform representation refers to the structure of the knowledge while uniform access refers to the ability of the agents operators to utilize and change the knowledge. The following architectures employ uniform access to knowledge:

Planning and Learning Architecture (PRODIGY)
Meta-Reasoning Architecture (MAX)
Plan-then-Compile Architecture (THEO)
Adaptive Intelligent Systems (AIS)
Problem Space Architecture (Soar)
Planned + Situated Action (TETON)
Entropy Reduction Engine (ERE)

The following architectures contain knowledge that cannot be utilized by all of its operators:

A Basic Integrated Agent (Homer)
Heterogeneous Asynchronous Architecture (ATLANTIS)
Situated and Planned Action Agent (Teton)
