Summary:Knowledge comes in various forms: scientific, artistic, legal, and many others. For most non-computer scientists, it is far easier to express their knowledge in text than in programming code. The dynamic decision tree system is a system for supporting the authoring of expertise in text form and navigation via an interface that limits the cognitive load on the reader. Specifically, as the reader answers questions, relevant tree nodes appear and irrelevant ones disappear. Searching by a keyword can help to navigate the tree. Database calls bring in information from external datasets. Links bring in other decision trees as well as websites. This paper describes the reader interface, the authoring interface, the related state-of-the-art work, the implementation, and case studies.
