Editorial Reviews

Booknews

Offers an approach to coping with large amounts of intelligent data by combining the techniques of database researchers, who are concerned with the efficient processing of large amounts of data, and of artificial intelligence researchers, who are concerned with representing and processing small amounts of the right information. Combines a "property-oriented" representation, which fragments knowledge into small independent pieces, with a logic-based approach that permits a simpler mapping to the relational model of databases. Author and subject indexes appear in the table of contents. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
