Intelligent Structured Knowledge Source Integration via Software Agents

这个项目的目的是使用灵活的信息代理集成万维网与机器可读的本体，即一个大的，一致的收集常识知识。世界上最好的本体论是Cyc。Cyc的通用知识库是丰富和稳定的，但有一个主要的限制，要求其知识由专家手工输入。该项目的成果将是增加本体的功能，使专家推理程序希望使用一个正式的本体，如Cyc有机会获得丰富的知识在万维网上。

This project aims to use flexible information agents to integrate the World Wide Web with a machine readable ontology, namely a large, consistent collection of common sense knowledge. The best developed ontology in the world is Cyc. Cyc's repository of general purpose knowledge is rich and stable, but has a major limitation in requiring its knowledge to be hand-entered by experts. The outcomes of the project will be increased functionality for ontologies, to enable expert reasoning programs wishing to use a formal ontology such as Cyc to have access to the wealth of knowledge on the World Wide Web.
