I found this interesting guide for building expert systems in Prolog: http://www.amzi.com/ExpertSystemsInProlog/

I will try to follow it, and hopefully make my first expert system from scratch. This way of building expert systems is probably the hardest way, but it will make me understand how does it really work. One of the much easier ways is to use tools for building expert systems like CLIPS, or if done in Python, then pyCLIPS: a Python module for CLIPS.

Why do I want to learn how to build expert systems? The reason is that expert systems are the best way to analyze and make conclusions based on large amounts of data. Nowadays there is a lot of open data, but people don’t know how to use it effectively. I think that data mining, building large databases, and then analyzing it with expert systems will yield a lot of very interesting and useful results.
