AsString

Returns a string representation of the fact template. The string is syntactically correct, i.e., it can be parsed by the TIEParser being used by the TInferenceEngine component

BackwardChaining

Determines if the inference engine is backward chaining, as opposed to the more normal forward chaining

Comment

Stores a string describing the purpose of a particular fact template

Fuzzy

Returns whether the fact template is a fuzzy fact template, which uses Fuzzy Logic. A fuzzy fact template contains at least one fact slot with fuzzy type information. Fuzzy fact slots act like fuzzy variables and accept fuzzy values (fuzzy sets).

HashCode

Returns a hash code for the fact template

ImportModuleCount

Returns the number of modules that import this shared construct (Inherited from IECSInterfaces.IModuleSharedConstruct.)

ImportModule[Integer]

Provides access to the defmodule (IModule interface) at the specified index that imports this shared construct. If the index is out of bounds, an EListError exception is raised (Inherited from IECSInterfaces.IModuleSharedConstruct.)

Module

Specifies the module that owns, or exports, the shared construct (Inherited from IECSInterfaces.IModuleSharedConstruct.)

Ordered

Identifies a fact template which is unordered, i.e., has named slots, or ordered, i.e., only has one unnamed slot and all values are implicitly ordered.

Owner

Tracks the owner of the fact template, usually a TInferenceEngine component

Parent

Tracks the IFactTemplate which was used to originally create the current fact template

SlotCount

Returns the number of slots in the fact template

SlotNames

Return an enumeration of all the slot names in the fact template

Slots

Returns an enumerator for all the IFactSlots in the template. Every access of the property returns a new iterator for the slots

Slot[String]

Provides access to all the slots of the fact template through the IFactSlot names. If the fact slot name doesn't exist when attempting to retrieve the fact slot, an EIEException with the SInvalidSlotName string is raised

TemplateName

Gets and sets the name of the template (the fact class, such as "person").

AddImportModule(IModule)

Adds the specified Module as a module that imports the shared construct (Inherited from IECSInterfaces.IModuleSharedConstruct.)

AddMultiSlot(String,IIEValue)

Adds a IFactSlot to the fact template with the given slot name and default value. Using the slotname, you can access the slot using the Slot property. This method also sets the Ordered property implicitly. A multislot is a slot which takes a list as a value.

AddSlot(IFactSlot)

Overloaded. Adds a IFactSlot (slot or multislot) to the fact template. Using the FactSlot.Name, you can access the slot using the Slot property. This method also sets the Ordered property implicitly.

AddSlot(String,IIEValue)

Overloaded. Adds a IFactSlot with the specified name and default value to the fact template. Using the slotname, you can access the slot using the Slot property. This method also sets the Ordered property implicitly.

AssignSlots(IFactTemplate)

Copies the IFactSlots from the source fact template into the current fact template. The current fact template's slots are destroyed. Note that the slots are cloned, not directly assigned

ClearSlots

Clears all slots from the fact template

Clone(TObject)

Clones the IFactTemplate object with a different owner. This method is different than ICloneable's Clone method because it allows a different owner

ContainsSlot(String)

Overloaded. Returns TRUE if a slot with the given slotname exists within the fact template

ContainsSlot(String,IFactSlot)

Overloaded. Returns true or false depending on whether there is a slot in the fact template with the specified slot name. The SlotName is case sensitive. If the slot is found, the Slot parameter will contain the slot

ContainsType(IIEDefinedType)

Searches the fact slots of the template for a fact slot which uses the specified Type Definition, e.g., the ExtendedTypeInfo property of the fact slot equals the DefType parameter. If a fact slot is found, then that fact slot is returned. Otherwise, nil is returned

FillFactWithDefaults(IFact)

Overloaded. Represents method FillFactWithDefaults(IFact).

IndexOfImportModule(IModule)

Returns the index in the import list of the specified module. If the module is not found, the function returns -1. (Inherited from IECSInterfaces.IModuleSharedConstruct.)

IsBackwardChaining

Accessor method for the BackwardChaining property

IsFuzzy

Accessor method for the Fuzzy property

IsOrdered

Accessor method for the Ordered property

IsShared

Returns true if the construct is shared between modules (Inherited from IECSInterfaces.IModuleSharedConstruct.)

RemoveImportModule(IModule)

Removes the module from the import list. The index of item removed is returned, or -1 if the name was not found (Inherited from IECSInterfaces.IModuleSharedConstruct.)

RemoveSlot(String)

Remove the IFactSlot associated with the SlotName parameter from the fact template. If the slotname does not exist, an exception is raised.
