Adapting CLIM Applications for Use on the World Wide Web
We have developed a Web server tool, written in Common Lisp, that allows any existing graphical user interface application written using the Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM) to hook easily into the WWW.

The Generic Frame Protocol
The Generic Frame Protocol (GFP) is an application program interface for accessing knowledge bases stored in frame knowledge representation systems (FRSs).

A Storage System for Scalable Knowledge Representation
Our research investigates the hypothesis that one can employ an existing database management system (DBMS) as a storage subsystem for an FRS, to provide high-speed access to large, shared KBs.

Representations of Metabolic Knowledge: Pathways
The chief contributions of the paper are a minimized representation for biochemical pathways called the predecessor list, and inference procedures for converting the predecessor list into a pathway-graph representation that can serve as input to a pathway-drawing algorithm.

Automated Drawing of Metabolic Pathways
This paper presents algorithms for drawing metabolic pathways by dynamically querying the underlying knowledge base.

A Qualitative Biochemistry and its Application to the Regulation of the Tryptophan Operon
This article is concerned with the general question of how to represent biological knowledge in computers such that it may be used in multiple problem solving tasks.
