[comp.ai] Hypertext expert systems builders

kk@aifh.ed.ac.uk (05/30/91)

I am posting this for someone to shy to use the news. 
Please reply by email to  R.Muetzelfeldt@edinburgh

Does anyone know of references to building expert systems in a
hypertext medium (like HyperCard)? I remember seeing the outside of a
product called hyper-X(?) for doing just this but have not heard good
reports of it. Level 5 is another name wafting around (a PC hypertext
tool). Literature and software references welcome.

HyperCLIPS is available from NASA through COSMIC at the University of
Georgia.  I haven't worked with it yet, but I've heard favorable things.
CLIPS is a fairly flexible expert system development shell.  HyperCLIPS
allows you to use CLIPS in HyperCard.

  I would suggest HyperWriter from Ntergaid.  The company also makes 
  a version of their product that is either shareware or public domain
  called Black Magic.  There is no runtime fee for HyperWriter applications
  and their technical support is good.    

  If you use a software carousel type program, on a PC with several MB of
  RAM, you can partition the memory into several 640K partitions so that
  that hypertext application is already loaded in one partition, and a 
  rule-base which is part of your application is loaded in another one.  
  Otherwise, its not very user friendly to wait for a long time while
  your application loads a big hypertext-base.
