Development of the Silk Relics Expert System based on SWI-Prolog

The Silk Relics Expert System is developed based on the research on silk relics preservation and reconstruction. This article mainly introduces the process of developing the Silk Relics Expert System, including the knowledge's extraction and expression based on the expert experience and professional knowledge on silk relics area, the process of constructing reasoning framework and decision trees and the JPI interface that connects SWI-Prolog and Java.

I. Introduction

In the field of industrial design, there are many difficult problems, which need typical expertise to solve, especially in the area of silk relics preservation and reconstruction. When dealing with the silk relics, many tasks can only be assigned to some certain experts and designers, especially when making important decisions, which leads to a low working efficiency.
