You may wish to check ISBN 0-07-003350-1:
Artificial Intelligence with Ada, Louis Baker, McGraw-Hill 1989.


He discusses, and gives Ada83-code for:

  Backward-chaining expert system shell
  Forward-chaining expert system shell
  Frames database
  Natural language parser
  Augmented Transition Network Parser 

It looks interesting, but it's really not my field.
