Transcriber + Generator + Context + Planner -- see Agency

1. TOC - The pages below are on CONTEXT
2. Significance = Ontology based model of DISCOURSE for a microworld
3. Technical Objectives of Phase 1 <= /interests/context.htm (marked)
• Spec phase II Transcriber extension on same hardware
• Develop & publish core INGLISH ontology for the CTF
• Explore use of Jena in a Java protoype running in Agency web app
• Spec and test plans for RDF links to Agents - use Planning as example
4. Phase 1 Work Plan
• 3-6 wks by PI on internal CTF & ontology <= heavy on Rogets, Lextend
• 2-3 wks by PI on focus-map additions to ontology  <= discourse modeling
• 1-3 wks by PI on Agency interfaces <= Jena hooked in; use it for RDF I/O
5. Related R/R&D - convince them I knoew what I'm doing
• Simulation at MIT-Draper & AI Lab (Vision/NLP)
• ScD Thesis (unfinished) on Snoopy & INGLISH
• Created Lexikos; ph-II on KR using INGLISH
• Unfinished Lextend & CFT via Transcriber
• RDF (DAML+OIL=>OWL) can "popularize" IA R&D
6. Relationship with Phase II or Future R/R&D (7)  <= /interests/context.htm (apps)
• supports semantics within core NLP Transcriber
• supports discourse models for anaphor, disambiguation
• lets Transcriber chart be rephrased into logical form
• core of "understanding", to be expanded by user-agents
