Introduction

This is the Quaestor User's Guide home page.

Quaestor is a software framework to both develop and use knowledge bases containing computational methods and data. The combination of a project (a project file), a knowledge base (a knowledge file) and the Quaestor program makes a knowledge-based system to streamline design and engineering processes (workflows).

This user documentation is primarily targeted on the use of Quaestor as the development platform for knowledge based engineering. Although this information is also very interesting for users (Domain experts and End-Users), they should primarily rely on the documentation provided inside the knowledge based system or provided separately as a "Getting started" documentation.

Version information can be found in here.
