Application of the model-driven development approach for designing rule-based expert systems and knowledge-bases

The paper describes application of the model driven development (MDD) approach for designing rulebased expert systems and knowledge bases. The specialization of the approach consists in the use: of ontology to represent a computation-independent model, the author's notation RVML (Rule Visual Modeling Language) to create platform-independent model and platform-specific models and CLIPS as the platform. The problem statement, the main elements of the approach, algorithms and software are presented.
