The inference process for medical expert system is mostly formed by diagnostic knowledge on the if-then rule base. Oriental medicine diagnostic knowledge, however, may involve uncertain knowledge caused by ambiguous concept. In this paper, we analyze an oriental medicine diagnostic process by a rule-based inference system, and propose a method for representing and processing uncertain oriental medicine diagnostic knowledge using CLP( R ) which is a kind of constraint satisfaction program.
