I'm considering this idea: build a repository of facts/rules in FOL (or
Prolog) format, similar to Cyc's. For example water is wet, oil is
slippery, etc. The repository is structureless, in the sense that it is
just a collection of simple statements. It can serve as raw material for
other
How do you plan to represent water is wet?

Well, we need to agree on some conventions. A pretty standard way is:
Is(water,wet).
But the one I use in my system is:
R(is, water, wet)
where R is a generic predicate representing a
Actually it doesn't matter what convention you use. You could simply have
an entry box on the screen, with a prompt saying please type a short
statement that you believe to be either true or false. Some parsing can do
the rest. To avoid getting too verbose simply restrict the maximum number
of

In the standard way of knowledge representation, a constant is
either a predicate name or an individual name. Mass noun like water
is neither. There is no

Well, I don't really think that Mindpixel shares are going to be a
big motivator for folks to encode knowledge, in the current

the dot-com-era mentality, I think.

A few other considerations -- It is possible to reduce the need for
after-the-fact parsing by imposing constraints on the knowledge-entry
process, and this actually makes it easier for users to come up with facts.
For example, the MIT Open Mind Common Sense project asked users to fill in
