The k-complexity of a single bacterium’s molecular disassemblage has greater magnitude than that of OpenCyc’s ontological delineated totality.
Yea or nay?

But it seemed to me that connecting their ontology to anything outside their ontology, would require a lot of work. Their NLP system connects their ontology to natural language terms, but it's proprietary.... (This is setting aside the question of whether a human-built ontology is useful for AGI -- to my mind it could in principle be useful in peripheral ways, but can't play a central role...) -- ben On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 8:20 AM, Duncan Murray via AGI <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi all, I am looking to use OpenCyc, but am having trouble finding any recent examples / discussion on it anywhere. There are many requests on how to use it, but not a lot of examples or replies. Does anyone use it as an ontology, or do you have some examples on its use? I realise OpenCyc is a subset of the full ontology Cyc, but are there other ontologies I should be looking at in terms of generic concept mapping?
