So I had a look at the white paper and implemented the flight example in Rebol. Here's the contents of %Flight.r:
"Flight BA1234" "London Heathrow" 12/Aug/98 10:25 "arrived at" "on" "at" [1 5 2] [8 6 3] [9 7 4] "Concorde" [10 6 11] Basically a block of Rebol values; string!, date!, time! and block!. The associations are the three integers in blocks at the end. Then I wrote this to join up the associations: Database: load %Flight.r SVO: function [Database [block!] Item] [Subject Verb Object] [ either block? Item [ Subject: Item/1 Verb: Item/2 Object: Item/3 Subject: SVO Database Database/:Subject Verb: SVO Database Database/:Verb Object: SVO Database Database/:Object reduce [Subject Verb Object] ] [ Item ] ] foreach Item Database [ print SVO Database Item ] And running the above script gives the output: Flight BA1234 London Heathrow 12-Aug-1998 10:25 arrived at on at Flight BA1234 arrived at London Heathrow Flight BA1234 arrived at London Heathrow on 12-Aug-1998 Flight BA1234 arrived at London Heathrow on 12-Aug-1998 at 10:25 Concorde Flight BA1234 arrived at London Heathrow on 12-Aug-1998 at 10:25 on Concorde >> Note that I've added the "on Concorde" part to the example. I'll think I'll work up some more magic stuff and thread my HTML dialect through it, so I can create sentences (SVOs) through a browser interactively.
