  • Knowledge base management system
    Patent number: 5228116
    Abstract: An inference engine in a knowledge base system may be invoked by an application program (e.g., a COBOL program), by arranging to detect, in the program, instructions whose syntax complies with the syntax requirements of a predefined data base manipulation language (e.g., SQL), and then executing the instruction by invoking the inference engine. As a result, the application programmer can implicitly and transparently take full advantage of the facilities of the inference engine using simple, known data base manipulation language statements.
