GRAPHIC RULE EDITOR

摘要

A graphic rule editor for a logical rule in a computer-assisted knowledge management system is disclosed. The knowledge field is modelled by an ontology. The ontology comprises the typical construct concepts, concept attributes, relations between concepts, etc. Graphic symbols are used to represent the logical rule, the ontological constructs being represented by the form of the graphic symbols. The logical relationships between the constructs are represented by the colour of the graphic symbols. Means are provided for translating between the graphic representation of the logical rule and the representation of the logical rule in a formalised logical language.
