The semantics of Texai dialog system will be based upon the vocabulary of OpenCyc, but not upon the OpenCyc executable (which is free to use, but not open source). I have extracted all the OpenCyc content that is directly compatible with OpenCyc and released it at SourceForge:
http://sf.net/projects/texai See the files in the open-cyc-rdf package. The TriG-formatted file contains context, which is a new feature of RDF. I persist the OpenCyc content in a Sesame 2 RDF store using the RDF Entity Manager that I wrote this year. I plan to connect this with OpenCog, when Ben designs a suitable RDF/SPARQL interface to the compatible Atoms in OpenCog. I believe that you could develop your system using the Texai dialog system without using the full OpenCyc derived vocabulary. Just a very small portion might work for the limited scope that you described. I'll have much more to say about the dialog system in the months to come. I have only just completed the first use case of parsing text into logic. Next task is to generate the same text from the logical input. -Steve Stephen L.

Integrating it with an AGI other than Cyc might need some extra work...
