SENEX: a CLOS/CLIM application for molecular pathology.
Sheldon S. Ball, Vei H. Mah · PubMed · 1993
SENEX is a computer system under development to explore issues related to representation of molecular information, presentation of data, and reasoning with molecular informa-tion. It is written entirely in a portable programming environment supported by Common Lisp, the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), and the Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM). SENEX contains information about molecules, molecular events and disease processes, and provides tools for reasoning with and displaying this infor-mation in useful ways. Molecular pathology is a discipline characterized by struc-tures of variable complexity, events constrained by a vari-able number of factors, and incompletely understood phe-nomena. Representational issues inherent in the domain are complicated by the use of a language with a rigid/inflexible
