Abstract

The article describes the expert-system design tool FRESH (Frame-Relationship Expert-system SHell) and its underlying principles. The fundamentals of FRESH closely resemble those of the entity-relationship (ER) approach to information modelling. Some necessary adjustments, which enable knowledge representation, fit in naturally, without having the modelling view drift away from its origin. The tool FRESH has been carefully developed given this view, to support expert-system design in an ER context.
