    Patent number: 5303332
    Abstract: A compiled, rule-based expert system for a data base. The system incorporates compiled declarations to incorporate the concept of strong typing at compile time. Both data and rules can be declared so as to be accessible from one or more modules, as required. Such a scheme reduces program complexity, reduces program development time, and increases the ease with which rule-based programs may be embedded in procedural programs.
