One of the most difficult problems faced by botanists is the quick and accurate identification of species or genera. Pinus sp. consists of 18 species in Europe alone. Each of these species have major or minor differences from the rest, starting from the number of needle groups and ending to the presence or not of wings on the seeds. The purpose of this paper is to present an expert system which will be able to identify the correct Pinus species based on the encasement of experts knowledge. An expert system is a computer application, which based on an Inference engine and a Knowledge base, is able to solve a variety of problems based solely to the knowledge acquired by the programmer. The system is created based on client-server technology and it is easily accessed by everyone through the World Wide Web, allowing multiple users to simultaneously access its Knowledge base.
