A Java']Java Template to Interrogate Knowledge Bases by Client-Server Technology

The subject developed in this paper is related to some sort of remote connection with a knowledge base for its interrogation. More specifically, we propose to use client server technology to solve this problem. A methodological description is given based on Java technology. Both the server and client side of the application are presented step by step. The way of presentation is divided into stages, each stage is well defined according to the proposed tasks. Each step of the presentation can be easily modified and adapted by a person who wants to write his own application to query a knowledge base by client-server technology. The application is based on Java technology so that we can say that we obtained a Java template. The knowledge base used to exemplify the application running is based on inheritance property in an extended case ([8]). The choice of this kind of knowledge base can be explained by the fact that the inference engine in this case is easier to write than the inference engine for other methods of knowledge representation. The last section enumerates several developing directions.
