Decision Tree using ASP

Im not sure whether im posting this question in the right place but i just need a few ideas.

im required to develop a simple expert system, like an animal guessing game where the questions, answers and rules are stored in the database. But the problem is i dont know what is needed to design the database and how it relates to each and other.

im planning to use asp to develop the system.

pls reply soon. Thanks a lot

What is an example of the type of questions that you would be asking? Is this going to be like an online quiz or somethign? Will it be multiple choice?

ok let says

decision: Bird

Questions: Can it Fly?

ok lets say

the decision is a bird and a dog

questions will be : can it fly?
Does it have wings?

if both ths questions are trues then its a bird else another question will be displayed to determine whether itsa dog if not the user is allowed to add a new animal with the question where the user answers Yes Or No to identify that animal.

so i really dont know how to design my database and what the programming sturcture will look like. are there any samples that i can refer to?

Pls help asap. Thanks

It's a difficult question to answer with such a small sample of what you are working with. A direction could be suggested but it may not take into account other possible questions you are dealing with.

I'd say that you will need to review all of the questions you are dealing with and determine what common pieces you have to work with. Based on that you should see one or more table layouts start to present themselves.

i.e.:

Each quiz has a question.
Each question will have a minumum number of possible answers and a maximum possible number of answers.
Questions can have one or more answers.
Questions can have possible answers displayed as text, image or sound.
Does the user get immediate feedback on their answer or a summary at the end.
Can the user change the answer......

You'll need to be as thourough as possible in your analysis.
