Prolog and the web

[phal]

Hi, all

I learned Prolog, and currently I work as a web programmer and
designer, as I know about Prolog, it is declaration programming, and I
not sure whether it may run faster then others.

I would like to know more about all of your suggestion for Prolog and
web programmer. Where can use Prolog for my purpose instead of AI?
Which language the most suitable for me to use with Prolog?

I've read an interesting article on how prolog can work well with RDF,
which goes into at least the semantic web style web activities.

is very easier to observe in Prolog than in some other languages;
either you get it right or it goes _very_ sideways.

I'm a bit slow with my reply here, but...

I've used Prolog in quite a few situations, but when it comes to web
development, there's been two areas that I've found prolog to be quite
useful:

1. Web development via Prolog Server Pages
(http://www.benjaminjohnston.com.au/template.prolog?t=psp)

2. "Screen Scraping" other websites and web services -- SWI Prolog's
http client and html parser make screen scraping very easy.

Specific applications of Prolog to web development I've been involved
in:
- a web-based expert system
- a declarative framework for checking complex form submissions
- general intranet development
- a web user interface for analysing log files

You'll also find lots of applications in the SWI-Prolog applications
DB:

Prolog will probably not run faster, but in many circumstances may save
you development time.

In my experience it doesn't run slower, and can be significantly faster
processing term structures than Java processing XML. Of course, YMMV.
