Efficient Integration of PROLOG and Relational Databases in the NED Intelligent Information System
نویسندگان
چکیده
NED-2 is an intelligent information system for ecosystem management currently in development by the USDA Forest Service. Using PROLOG knowledge bases and inference engines, NED-2 evaluates forest inventories according to a set of predefined goals. It is a blackboard system with agents implemented in PROLOG. NED-2’s primary data store is a set of relational databases. The present paper focuses upon an issue of central importance to the project—the integration of PROLOG programs and relational databases to form NED-2’s blackboard.

PROLOG/RDBMS Integration in the NED Intelligent Information System
The following paper describes recent work on NED-2, an intelligent information system for ecosystem management currently in development by the USDA Forest Service. Using knowledge bases created by forestry experts and inference engines, NED-2 evaluates forest inventories according to a set of predefined goals. By integrating third-party simulation and visualization packages, NED-2 allows the us...
متن کاملExtending the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus Based on the Concept of Accessibility of Moving Objects in the Paths
Qualitative spatial representation and reasoning are among the important capabilities in intelligent geospatial information system development. Although a large contribution to the study of moving objects has been attributed to the quantitative use and analysis of data, such calculations are ineffective when there is little inaccurate data on position and geometry or when explicitly explaining ...
متن کاملAn extensible web interface for databases and its application to storing biochemical data
This paper presents a generic web-based database interface implemented in Prolog. We discuss the advantages of the implementation platform and demonstrate the system’s applicability in providing access to integrated biochemical data. Our system exploits two libraries of SWI-Prolog to create a schema-transparent interface within a relational setting. As is expected in declarative programming, th...
متن کاملCon ict Detection for Integration of Taxonomic Data
Over recent years, international initiatives such as the 1993 U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity have highlighted the need for information about species diversity on a global scale. However, attempts to build global information systems by integrating smaller, independently created biodiversity databases have been hampered by diierences in the sets of species names used. Some databases use ...
متن کاملIntelligent Mathematical Databases
Mathematics is a new area of advanced applications for database technology. We report on our recent work constructing two prototypes of intelligent mathematical databases, and on the lessons learnt. The integration of various paradigms | relational, logic, functional, and object-oriented | in the database, and the incorporation of the database facilities into a computer algebra system are discu...
