Hi Nil, Thank you for your response.

We want to create software robots which can think of customer/ business
problems and provide solutions or act on those problems. We are trying
to evaluate OpenCog from development perspective to build such platform.
Can we adapt this as our development framework?

You certainly can. Of course OpenCog is still in the making so you'll have to keep up with updates or fix whatever you need to, or ask us. The opencog-ish way to do what you want is to define goals and behavior for your software robots as a set of OpenPsi rules, as well as assemble IO, learning and reasoning agents so your system fulfils these goals intelligently.


Also, i am trying to install openCog to get the feel of the framework,
but not successful. Could you provide me some help here as well. I am
using a centos server and only dowloaded opencog files till now. How to
proceed next?

See

http://wiki.opencog.org/w/Building_OpenCog

BTW, I'm running OpenCog on Ubuntu 16.10, however I don't use these tools for installing it, report any problems you may have.


Is there any reading material available apart from wiki docs?

The documentation is also in the making, we don't have yet a nice and uniform documentation like for say the Python language or the Boost library, so the Wiki, READMEs in the code are the main sources of documentation you'll currently find. We also have documentation generated by doxygen here http://wiki.opencog.org/w/Code_documentation but it's currently broken.

Thanks
Ravi Krishna.

    OpenCog is as open as it can get. Regarding flexibility, sure it could
    be better, for instance ideally truth and attentional values would be
    proto atoms and people should be able to ignore them or replace them if
    they want to. Of course they can be ignored but the API doesn't look at
    lean as it could as a result, and the kind of mutable data an atom can
    hold is very limited (you can always make it up by unfolding that data
    into hypergraphs, but it introduces overheads).

    You totally can, as long as your needs meet what OpenCog can offer.
    Have
    a look at the examples in the atomspace and opencog repositories to get
    some ideas.

    You also may want to look at https://github.com/hansonrobotics/HEAD
    <https://github.com/hansonrobotics/HEAD>
    which is I believe the biggest project using the opencog framework.

    If you tell us a bit more what you want to do with OpenCog we could
    help
    you to evaluate how adequate it is and how much work is needed to
    leverage it.
