[rules-users] Re: Writing rules using terminology based expressions.

[Shahim Essaid]

Here is a very simplistic example:

I have a rule that wants to check for "cough" (concept ID 11111) symptom 
in the working memory and the working memory has a "whooping cough" 
concept (ID 22222) object.

The working memory object will be Concept(ID=22222) and the rule will 
use Concpet(ID=11111).

A simple numerical comparison will fail but the concept id 22222 is a 
11111 and this IS_A relationship is in the terminology's semantic net. 
This means that the rule should be activated in this condition.

Based on this simple example, what is the best way to include the 
terminology's knowledge and the terminology's matching algorithm into 
the rule engine?

Thanks,
Shahim
