"Knowledge Engineer" take 2... I think the word these days is "programmer" - which we cant really do without. The MCRDR system is designed for the non-computing expert to build and edit his/her own rule set without filtering through the brain of the computing expert who encodes/encoded the rules and who had to have these amazing psychological skills of "knowledge extraction".

In the movie "Patton" when they mentioned battles fought without soldiers, Patton was horrified that there could be a battle without honor or glory or personal sacrifice. He said that he hoped that he would never live that long. Well, it's happening now. I'm glad he's not here to see it. And I hope that I never see a Knowledge System without someone to aid in the growth of the system. 2001 (remember HAL) and Terminator are just around the corner. SDG jco James C.
