What will the OpenCyc documentation consist of?
A library of HTML files and presentations covering: how to use the KB Browser; how to create an ontology; the dos and don’ts of knowledge representation; the syntax and use of CycL; the contents of OpenCyc; and how to program using the Cyc API. Several suggested orderings of the material will be provided reflecting the variety of experience levels and learning objectives of OpenCyc users. For example, an experienced logician who is interested in learning about Cyc’s truth maintenance mechanisms will follow a different path through the learning materials than a novice programmer who wants to understand how to add simple facts to the KB.
