XpertRule Inference from Fuzzy Logic

Case-based Reasoning Inference

Pattern Matching Inference

This inference strategy is used to select the "best" of the "valid" instances.

The "best" instance is defined by:

• Class Instances are sorted according to the Sort Order & Sort Direction of their Properties.
• The "top" instance is selected.

A "valid" instance is ensured by:

• The invocation of full Constraint Inference for the Class. Please be aware that Constraint Inference is dependant on the version of Knowledge Builder being used.
• Class Instances Property values are matched to the value (if any) of Class.Property, using the specified Comparator.

Note that only Instance Properties with the "enter into pattern matching inference" option checked are considered.
