The COLIBRI Platform: Tools, Features and Working Examples

COLIBRI is an open source platform for the development of Case-based reasoning (CBR) systems. It supports the development of different families of specialized CBR systems: from Textual CBR to Knowledge Intensive applications. This chapter provides a functional description of the platform, its capabilities and tools. These features are illustrated with real examples of working systems that have been developed using COLIBRI. This overview should serve to motivate and guide those readers that plan to develop CBR systems and are looking for a tool that eases this task.
