[om-list] project differences

Hello Mr Call and other friends,

As you pointed out, documents are a primary datum for my project. But, i 
would like to add that documents are only a primary input data for the KB. 
At first, the KB only returns documents from within the repository, since it 
is not able to provide NL answers to NL questions that are posed. The idea i 
was putting forward, involves a scheme where an intelligent agent would 
report results in NL format, but allows users to access the base documents 
(if any).

I doubt it will be very possible to build a fully NL solution in the near 
future. But, i think its possible to begin the process, by designing a 
framework, where the robot is just another human being - able to assimilate 
arbitary pieces of information from the KB like other users, and able to 
chat (literally) with other users of its experiences.

Let us assume that such a robot is a human being. Once the basic ideas of 
language are embedded into the robot (in the form of an NL semantic 
analyzer), and a vast ontology is available which is the basic idea of 
knowledge, then the robot may create ideas of its own, by expressing them in 
NL. However, the problem with this are:
1) a NL semantic analyzer/classifier/generator has not been built
2) a vast ontology + instances of ontological items (ie, Bird is ontology, 
knowledge about Bird is instance) is not available, so that the robot is 
able to learn not only language, but also acquire knowledge while doing so 
(this based on the assumption that knowledge increases language, and 
language increases knowledge of knowledge)

Part 2 can be built today. Part 1 may be designed in part today.
