Abstract
The paper describes a diagnostic system for hand wounds. The system shall not only propose diagnostic decisions (because this would not be sufficient for starting a complex therapeutic treatment), but shall also provide with a number of subdiagnoses describing results of subtests and makes available tools for knowledge acquisition from data. The system, implemented as a CGI service, possesses an interface based on an HTML-browser in an Internet-like network.
It consists of a bilingual database, a dictionary subsystem, a deterministic expert system, a Bayesian network base expert system, an automatic Bayesian network acquisition module and a visual Bayesian network editor.
