Designing a Prototype of a Fuzzy Expert System for a Dialectologist Using Geographic Information Systems and Technologies

The article presents the results of scientific research on the design of a prototype of a geoinformation system for processing knowledge in the field of dialectology, as well as subsequent data visualization using geoinformation technologies and systems. The geoinformation system includes the ability to process heterogeneous data (linguistic, semantic), presented in various forms (graph and relational), and to provide intelligent data retrieval in conditions of uncertainty by using fuzzy logic. To create a web application, the Django software library (framework) of the Python programming language was used. To increase the efficiency of knowledge processing, the Ne04j graph database was used. Visualization of the received and processed spatial data on the map was performed using software libraries Pandas, Neomodel, Fuzzy, etc. The developed prototype of the geoinformation system is intended for specialists working in the field of dialectology, linguistics, typology and comparative studies, as it allows collecting, processing and analyzing spatial data on linguistic units of various language levels.
