Match is a monorepo showcasing a collection of Erlang applications built around the SERESYE (Swarm oriented ERlang Expert SYstem Engine). It demonstrates the capabilities of using a Rete-based rules engine in Erlang for various tasks, including semantic data processing and job matching.

This project is built using on .

The match repository serves as a central hub for several interconnected Erlang applications:

• SERESYE (apps/seresye): The core of the project, SERESYE is a Rete-based rules engine written in Erlang. It allows users to define a knowledge base (facts) and production rules to infer new knowledge and trigger actions. For detailed information, refer to the SERESYE README.

• Semantic Relatives (apps/semantic_relatives): This application demonstrates the use of SERESYE in conjunction with a Semantic Web Toolkit. It processes semantic web data (ontologies) to understand relationships (e.g., family trees) and stores this information in a Mnesia database. See the Semantic Relatives README for more.

• Job Match (apps/job_match): A practical application showcasing SERESYE's capabilities. It decodes job posting and applicant ontologies, builds a knowledge base, and uses a rule engine to match suitable applicants to job openings, evaluating them based on various criteria. Explore the Job Match README for specifics.

• Match (apps/match): This application appears to be the umbrella application for the release, tying together the other components.

Ensure you have Erlang/OTP installed (developed with OTP 23). You will also need Rebar3 to build the project.

• Erlang/OTP: Installation Guide
• Rebar3: Installation Guide

To compile the entire project and all its applications:

rebar3 compile

To open an Erlang shell with the project's applications loaded:

rebar3 shell

Each application within the apps/ directory has its own specific usage instructions and examples in its respective README.md file.

A primary example to explore is the Job Match application:

1. Build and start the shell:

   rebar3 compile
   rebar3 shell

2. From the Erlang shell, start the job_match application:

   1> job_match:start().
   ok

3. You can then query the job_match engine. For example, to retrieve all facts in its knowledge base:

   2> seresye_srv:get_kb(job_match).
   [{match,<<"JPosting22">>,<<"JSeeker126">>,... % and many more

   Refer to the Job Match README for more detailed query examples.

Similarly, you can explore the semantic_relatives application by following the instructions in its README.

(The original README mentioned a diagram. If a diagram exists or can be generated, it would be beneficial to include it here, perhaps as an image or a link to a generated document.)
