We give a brief overview of some of the goals in the larger project which motivated the design of the database. We also discuss some A.I. applications which are being built using NODE.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-88-26}, NOTE = {Accepted for publication in Proc. of ISMIS '88, Torino, Italy, October 12-15, 1988}
