Expert system authors can now build knowledge bases using CLASSIKA, a graphical tool. This system, based on the MED2 expert system shell, aids domain experts in diagnosing rheumatology diseases.

Area of Science:

Artificial Intelligence
Medical Informatics
Knowledge Engineering

Background:

Expert systems require efficient knowledge acquisition for practical application.
Current methods often necessitate significant involvement of knowledge engineers, limiting domain expert autonomy.
There is a need for user-friendly tools enabling direct knowledge base development by experts.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce CLASSIKA, a graphical knowledge acquisition tool designed for direct use by domain experts.
To demonstrate the utility of CLASSIKA in building a substantial expert system for rheumatology diagnosis.
To evaluate the practical application of the developed expert system in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

Development of CLASSIKA, a graphical knowledge acquisition tool.
