From data rich to information wealthy: A case for CLIPS

Webster's dictionary defines the two terms, data and information almost synonymously and, in fact, uses each term in the other's definition. More important for this discussion, it associates data with facts and information with knowledge. It is this distinction that this paper will focus upon while describing a CLIPS-based system that I have built that processes data into information. The goal is to leverage the power of CLIPS without requiring anyone to be trained in the CLIPS syntax or features. In short, a pseudo-CASE tool for CLIPS.
