Abstract: A workstation oriented to AIDS research is described. The formalism used to represent the knowledge network was the Petri net. The knowledge base contains clinical, epidemiologic, immunologic, virologic, bibliographic data and text (articles, documents). The workstation utilizes advanced methods (semantic nets, hypertext), in order to allow the user to explore available knowledge and to produce advances in knowledge through inference and information interaction.
Keywords: medicine; semantic net; hypertext; AIDS.
