TL;DR: This chapter discusses the knowledge-based systems or KBS, the idea is not just to construct systems that exhibit knowledge, but to represent that knowledge somehow in the data structures of the program, and to have the system perform whatever it is doing by manipulating that knowledge explicitly.

TL;DR: There are a number of more or less orthogonal ways of looking at the kind of knowledge-base management system (KBMS) envisaged in this book, but two very distinct viewpoints seem to dominate.
Abstract: There are a number of more or less orthogonal ways of looking at the kind of knowledge-base management system (KBMS) envisaged in this book. Nonetheless, two very distinct viewpoints seem to dominate. The first deals with what has been called the symbol level, and focuses on the data structures and algorithms needed to process and make available to a wide variety of users the large amounts of information present in (potentially distributed) KBs. Proposals here might involve using locking, parallelism, inheritance hierarchies, backward-chaining inference, database-style management of secondary storage and other mechanisms.3 This level deals with how a machine views and processes the information in a KB.

TL;DR: This is a thinly-disguised position paper that is more about logic and databases than anything else.
