An integrated system and method for providing a flexible expert system development and runtime environment with an integrated natural language processor and set-oriented knowledge base. The system and process include an input device, a spreading activation module, a reasoning module, a decision module, and a knowledge base. The system and method may also include a natural language processing module. The spreading activation module utilizes the knowledge base, which is set-oriented with named relationships between concepts to traverse the knowledge base efficiently. The reasoning module executes related, nested logic statements which manipulate the complex facts in the knowledge base. The decision module selects the value or values from a list which are most relevant at the moment the module is called. The knowledge base represents all data in a nested, set-oriented manner. The system and method, in turn, produce an output in response to the input or command into the system.
An expert system environment, including at least one entity, each entity comprising one from a group of a tangible element and an intangible element, each entity represented as a concept, wherein each concept is within a mesh of concepts, a system comprising:
A computer implemented method for qualifying data in an expert system environment including a knowledge base having concept elements, wherein each concept element is within a mesh of concepts, comprising:
In a knowledge system, having at least one entity, each entity comprising one from a group of a tangible element and an intangible element, each entity represented as a concept, wherein each concept is within a mesh of concepts, a system comprising:
