CYC and the Semantic Web

¡ One company ¡ Centralized ¡ First-order logic ¡ Complex KR language ¡ Authoritative data

¡ Many companies ¡ Distributed ¡ Left up to agent ¡ Simple KR language ¡ Noisy data

Will this work?  No one’s sure. Proponents say its just a matter of time.  Naysayers say we are revisiting the fundamental KR problems. BTW, CYCorp has put their ontology into the SW developmental efforts.
