Mark-up based analysis of narrative guidelines with the Stepper tool.
The Stepper tool was developed to assist a knowledge engineer in developing a computable version of narrative guidelines. The system is document-centric: it formalises the initial text in multiple user-definable steps corresponding to interactive XML transformations. In this paper, we report on experience obtained by applying the tool on a narrative guideline document addressing unstable angina pectoris. Possible role of the tool and associated methodology in developing a guideline-based application is also discussed.
