Expert system building tools
Dick B. Simmons, T.D. Escamilla, Newton C. Ellis · 2002
An overview is presented of features in several expert system building tools, and the mechanical properties of knowledge representation in these tools are described. A knowledge canonical form based on knowledge representation schemes found in commercial expert system building tools is then described. The knowledge canonical form can be used for knowledge base translation, cooperation between expert systems, and reuse of expert systems. A number of complex expert systems built from simpler loosely coupled systems are then described.>
