Some questions: 1. does it output logical formulae? Yes, here is my initial use case "the block is on the table" ===> extracted meanings: (<http://sw.cyc.com/2006/07/27/cyc/equals> ?obj-20 ?obj-18) (<http://sw.cyc.com/2006/07/27/cyc/equals> ?obj-5 ?obj-3) (<http://sw.cyc.com/2006/07/27/cyc/properSubSituations> ?situation-localized-11 ?on-situation-localized-15) (<http://sw.cyc.com/2006/07/27/cyc/situationConstituents> ?situation-localized-11 ?obj-3) (<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> ?obj-18 PreviouslyIntroducedInThisDiscourse) (<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> ?obj-20 <http://sw.cyc.com/2006/07/27/cyc/Table>) (<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> ?obj-3 PreviouslyIntroducedInThisDiscourse) (<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> ?obj-5 <http://sw.cyc.com/2006/07/27/cyc/Book>) (<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> ?on-situation-localized-15 On_SituationLocalized) (<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> ?situation-localized-11 <http://sw.cyc.com/2006/07/27/cyc/Situation-Localized>) (aboveObject ?on-situation-localized-15 ?obj5) (belowObject ?on-situation-localized-15 ?obj-20) (fcgDiscourse-role ?obj-20 external) (fcgDiscourse-role ?obj-5 external) (fcgStatus ?obj-20 single-object) (fcgStatus ?obj-5 single-object) The above propositions have terms expressed in RDF, but are presented in the lispy fashion desired by the original Fluid Construction Grammar implementers. (<predicate> <subject> <object>). Note that I include discourse axioms (e.g. PreviouslyIntroducedInThisDiscourse). This grammar is reversible. My next task is to generate the expected sentence given these meaning axioms as input. 2. is it interactive? Yes, my system will be dialog from the start, and Jabber compatible. 3. can it be used as a library (preferably under LGPL)? For your needs, I will dual license it - LGPL for you, GPL otherwise. Understand that I may include third-party Java GPL components that you will have to deal with. Because one is not allowed simply to load a GPL class file into a VM running an LGPL application that you have published, the current practice is to proxy the GPL Java library with a server running in a separate VM and messaging somehow to it. -Steve Stephen L.
