Hi Tom, Hmm, it's true that the best Atomspaces I'm aware of are for proprietary projects (a Hanson Robotics one with some robot-character-personality stuff; and one for a consulting project that has a customer's product catalogue and related info loaded into it...)
There is a bio-Atomspace with a bunch of bio-ontologies in it, but that's kinda specialized... Creating a good Atomspace for public use, is a good project that should be done, I agree... Senna has made the best start for this, I think, via writing code to import Simple English Wikipedia into the Atomspace, and saving a bunch of these Atoms in postgres... We could perhaps put a big Postgres DB on AWS somewhere, containing Atoms resultant from parsing Simple English Wikipedia. That would be a start. Be aware however that parsing Simple English Wikipedia currently results in a lot of Atoms, i.e. way more than you're gonna fit in RAM one one machine unless you have a supercomputer... ben On Sat, Oct 29, 2016 at 6:33 AM, <tom.maynard.rho...@gmail.com> wrote: > Specifically - I am trying to do the formalization of the legal knowledge > and I find it necessary to use the real-world concepts, e.g. formalization > of the VAT tax law requires ontologies of goods, of delivery terms, of > company types.
