An Expert System for Learning the National Electric Code
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to apply hypertext and expert system technology to the National Electric Code to assist with learning and using the code. Presently, there is no formalized training available on learning the code. Also, using the code is awkward and cumbersome at best because of the code's large quantity of text. Hypertext brings to the expert system a very quick and efficient way of viewing and moving through the code. The user controls the direction taken based on their selection of a hypertext path. The expert system, through a series of exercises, provides the training needed to learn the code rules and electrical design procedures. Hypertext provides the link between the exercises and the code rules to assist in answering the exercises. This process strengthens the users knowledge of code rules and standard electrical design procedures. The expert system was developed using the expert system shell KnowledgePro by Knowledge Garden. The prototype expert system provides complete access to chapter 2 of the National Electric Code and a series of learning exercises. Theses.
