Abstract
WebGrid-II is a knowledge acquisition and inference server on the World Wide Web that uses an extended repertory grid system for knowledge acquisition, inductive inference for knowledge modeling, and an integrated expert system shell for inference. This article describes WebGrid-II, and illustrates its use in eliciting and modeling knowledge.
