Abstract
Integration of database and expert system methods, in particular of object oriented evironments is crucial for future information systems. This paper presents an example of an object oriented system coupled with a relational database, which combines the strengths of both environments. We present a modelling approach which can be applied to both the database and the object oriented environment. Crucial for the implementation is the one-to-one transformation of values in the database (stored in rows) into facts of the object system as well as the transaction design. In this paper, along with general questions, we present some details of the implementation of this coupling issue in a productive expert system.
