description Development of new methods and tools for formalization and representation of complex knowledge in the context of the creation of intelligent systems remains in the scope of scientific research. Modern trends aim to automate the knowledge formalization and representation by using various sources of information, in particular, spreadsheets.

Our approach comprises three phases: (I) rule-driven data transformation source spreadsheet tables to a specific canonical form (data preprocessing), (II) domain knowledge formalization and representation via the extraction and aggregation of conceptual model fragments from canonicalized tables, (III) model-driven synthesizing knowledge base and source codes from a domain model.
