Machine Reasoning: Fundamentals and Applications

Cyc is a long-term artificial intelligence project that attempts to create a complete ontology and knowledge base that spans the fundamental concepts and principles about how the world works. This ontology and knowledge base will cover all aspects of the world. Cyc focuses on implicit knowledge that other artificial intelligence systems could take for granted in order to try to capture common sense understanding. In contrast to this are the information that one could look up using a search engine or retrieve from Wikipedia. Both of these options are available on the internet. Cyc gives semantic reasoners the ability to execute reasoning more like to that of humans and makes them less "brittle" when put in unfamiliar circumstances.
