Achieving objective knowledge-based system (KBS) presented here, which based on expert and scientists extension agents have grazing management suckler sheep southeastern France. The resulting model abstracts from description farmer's practices coherence underlying his decisions we named ‘strategic pattern’. This enables us highlight diversity styles corresponding different types aid. Based our experience developing model, argue KBS an effective methodology for formalising by mainly rests its qualitative features. respect, shows potential designing assistance relevant objectives.
