This paper describes an approach to reduce the complexity of knowledge engineering projects in corrosion by developing an object-oriented framework to guide the elicitation and organization of corrosion and materials engineering expertise. A model is presented into which corrosion expertise can be structured in a qualitative and quantitative way. This model could be used as the framework for a corrosion management expert system.
