Because an earlier direct posting to the comp.ai.nlang-know-rep group did not appear and within the comp.ai.shells group hardly any useful reply was received I would like to post within this group the next three questions: First: Are there people who have developed a network (or frame-based) Reasoning System, preferably programmed in Prolog (and preferebly NU- or MU-Prolog), for the development of a Natural Language Text Understanding System? And are they willing to share or sell the program? Or does anyone know addresses of people/companies that sell this kind of programs for the mentioned purpose? I already know of BACK, FLEX and RHET. Second: Of the network based system KNET (Prolog based; Freeman, Hirschman et.al.), Krypron or NILK (Brachman, Moser) I don't have an address. Can someone provide more information? Third: Are there people who have some experience with KEE for the development of a Natural Language Text Understanding System? I am interested in possible problems concerning e.g. the representation of the 'world knowledge'. References to articles are of course welcome too.
