Taxonomy computer-aided

In certain cases, more than one data point was available for a given data cell table in the CCPS Taxonomy. When several data points were considered appropriate and applicable to process equipment, the data were combined through a computer-aided aggregation process. The aggregation process is described in Section 5.2.

We have dwelt on the semantics of AI and ES merely because of the current interest in such matters. However, we conclude this article by emphasizing the fact that EROS functions successfully as a tool to aid chemists, wherever it fits into the taxonomy of computer software. We believe that this is far more important than whether the system conforms, or not, to any particular definition of AI or ES.
