PROBIB-2 is a prototype expert system for online bibliographic retrieval that provides enhanced retrieval capabilities through the application of logic programming. Implemented in Prolog, this system attempts to integrate the capabilities of a human search intermediary into a retrieval system that provides a deductive reasoning capability. Through a natural language interface, the user may retrieve information about the knowledge in the database as well as documents in response to query. User profiles may be used to establish a query environment to enable the system to determine the information need of the user.A concern with using Prolog to perform an online search of a large database is that the response time would be unacceptable. In order to overcome this drawback a special-purpose hardware device is proposed that, given an initial query, scans the disk-based Prolog database and returns to the main computer a subset of predicates relevant to the query. This set of predicates may then be used to resolve the user query in the normal Prolog manner.
