Perangkat Lunak Bantu Paleontologi Penentuan Usia Fosil Purba Menggunakan Pendekatan Rule Based Architecture

Abstract

Sangiran is an archeology site that is used as museum and fossil conservation that is found around Sangiran. Conservation activities carried out by Exploration Devision by conducting laboratory analysis using relative method. Those result some contradiction between on the statement of the fossil age. Then a software is built to help reduce subjectivity and perception of inequalities determining the age of fossils. The software is built based on the criteria of layers of land owned by the fossils as ruled by Sangiran Exploration Devision. This study adopts the research Software Engineering Expert System. Forward Chaining method is the basis of rules that are used, where the determination of the age of the fossils obtained from inputting the characteristics of the soil layer discovery of fossils.Paleontology software has 13 base rules to investigate the fossil age based on knowledge acquisition by Sangiran Exploration Devision. The software helps the geologists to determine the age of fossils objectively as written on the fossils age determination. Software testing conducted to measure confidence level by using Certanly FactorMetode.
