An expert system to recommend contents and guided visits for children: a practical proposal for the Pumapungo Museum of Cuenca, Ecuador

Abstract

In a globalized world like the one we live in nowadays, it is fundamental for every nation to preserve the cultural heritage. In this line, the UNESCO estimates that, if nothing is done, half of 6000 plus languages spoken today will disappear by the end of this century. For these reasons, in this paper, we present an expert system that has the aim of helping children during their visits to the museum. Our proposal relies on rule-based reasoning and focuses on helping which exhibits can be visited according to children's preference without leaving aside the possibility of introducing new contents (exhibition rooms) to trigger the visitors' preference on new cultural topics. The system was evaluated by a team of experts according to the following criteria: effectiveness, concordance, and novelty.
