  1. We give an overview to knowledge representation.
  2. Our proposed strategy is based on knowledge representation

What is the best way to combine these two sentences?

For example, is it correct if I write it as:

We give an overview to knowledge representation in which our proposed strategy is relied on.

The simplest way to combine the two statements into a single sentence is...

We give an overview of knowledge representation, on which our proposed strategy is based.

Note that in this construction, the "referent" of which is knowledge representation.

It would feel more natural to me to say something like this:

We will give an overview of knowledge representation, in which we will present our proposed strategy.

    This rephrasing significantly changes the meaning, in that it no longer contains the assertion of OP's second statement (that our proposed strategy is based on knowledge representation). Commented Apr 29, 2013 at 16:52
