A generic framework to support computer-based characterization of materials and corrosion problems has been developed. The framework provides an object-based model to partition and represent domain knowledge in terms of domain objects. The model allows characterization of objects in terms of system parameters and their relationships as a means to represent the state of an object. A template of objects and parameters can be created and used to rank different inter-related objects. The concept has been implemented as a Windows™-based software tool and examples of how the generic framework can be used to characterize differing domains have been provided.
