Expanding expertise by use of an expert system
By constructing an expert system as a research project proceeds it is possible to aid the development of expertise within the research project. This benefit occurs because there is a need for rules in the construction of the system and this motivates the researchers to formalize and relate the rules that researchers are constantly forming. There is also a benefit because each researcher putting his newly formed knowledge into the system makes it available to all other participants in the project. When the project involves complex scientific phenomena the use of interconncected simple mathematical models is needed to properly express the relations. The ability of the models to represent the values of a field of parameters permits researchers to refer to the individual phenomena within the realm of the model without having to reexpress all the complex relationships the model approximates. The model is still useful even when the rules being input into the expert system involve modifications that must be applied to the model output in particular situations.
