In the first section of this paper it was noted that accounting database systems hâd been criticized for the following:
1. not meeting the needs of decision ntakers;
2. having so much information that humans could not process or understand what was in the accounting database;
3. focusing on numeric data;
4. not understanding or interpreting events; and
5. difficult to use.
In the review of the events-based approach to database systems, it was found that contemporary approaches still faced some of the same criticisms.
A survey of some recent uses of Al, ES, and natural language in accounting database systems found that some of those limitations had been addressed. However, there still has been limited work in determining how intelligence is organized, stored, and applied in the context of accounting database systems.
This paper provides some approaches to mitigate the criticisms and yet, provides a bases for the integration of integrating intelligence into accounting database systems. Demons (to link events) and objects (to focus on and integrate other types of data and views of data) were investigated to further mitigate some of those limitations. (fragment of text)
