Package com.articulate.sigma Description

Provides classes for the Sigma knowledge engineering environment version developed at Articulate Software Inc. The core class is KB.java which handles data structures and operations on a knowledge base, including importing the individual KIF files which comprise a knowledge base. KBmanager is class which has a static variable that contains what should be the only instance of KBmanager. KBmanager may contain several KBs. KIF reads KIF files into a KB object. NLformatter handles generation of natural language paraphrases from logic. Vampire handles the interface to the Vampire theorem prover. The original version of this code is intended to be used with a set of jsp pages but later versions are planned that support both web/jsp interface and a stand- alone interface.
