abstract	Decision-support systems require intuitive human interfaces that maximize the flow of information between machine and user. We describe the use of hypertext authoring tools for designing high-grade interfaces to PENGUIN, a database management system extended with structural semantics, and to KNET, a shell for constructing probabilistic expert systems. The interface designer uses hypertext tools to construct a visual representation of the underlying database or knowledge base. We demonstrate that the separation of the hypertext interface from the computational engine expedites the development of applications that merge expert-system and relational-database technologies.
