hi fellows, i m doing my master-thesis for a civil engineering project and i m using protege with jess-tab. i want to make a rule-based system that has "artificial intelligence" and can "prognose" the next step of the project. of course i dont have any idea about programming and i m having difficulties solving the lightest problems.
for example: i have some pre-defined facts in protege. these facts have a slot named "classification" and its an integer-slot with allowed values "1, 2, 3 and 4", but this is not important. whats important is that i want to exclude all the instances that have a different classification-slot than the above two and the bellow two facts. so i thought i need a loop that only compares the one instance with the other four instances. the thing is i dont know how to access the facts and how to do the loop. i can show (printout t) the facts but i cannot exclude some of them due to a comparison. any help will be appreciated. thx a lot, nikos
