- Before discussing ELMER, here's some information about
- expert systems. An expert system contains knowledge about a
- particular field to assist human experts or provide
- information to people who do not have access to an expert in
- the particular field. It is an information system that can
- pose and answer questions relating to information borrowed
- from human experts and stored in the system's knowledge
- base. Although they vary in design, most expert systems have
- a user interface, a knowledge base, and an inference engine.
