Conceptual And Relational Database Server for knowledge based applications (CARDS)

The Conceptual And Relational Database System is a knowledge-based server for very large knowledge-based applications supported by a high performance relational database. Control of the CARDS engine is maintained by a conceptual model interpreter which provides knowledge-based programs with a high level modelling language that supports inference and consistency checking through constraint propagation within a network of inter-related concepts. The project includes the development of a large scale knowledge-based system which provides intelligent support to molecular biologists and cancer research scientists in the analysis and prediction of protein structures from gene and amino acid sequences
