Abstract

The selection of a particular software system as an implementation vehicle for a knowledge-based system is often controlled by financial considerations and local availability rather than a detailed examination of the options available. From the user's standpoint, the software behind the KBS will often be unimportant - the quality of the interface will be more immediate. This paper examines the computerisation of a geotechnical expert system and analyses the development and implementation of the system in two formats: a high level artificial intelligence language (PROLOG) and a Hypertext system (HyperCard). The system is described and comparisons are made with the two versions in the areas of knowledge representation, system architecture, interface control and design, user friendliness and ease of programming.
