The OpenCyc KB Review Process
The OpenCyc Knowledge Base will undergo significant change as it moves toward a version 1.0 release.
Among the most important changes will be a review and cleanup of the comments and assertions that are
present in the beta version.
- Each constant will be reviewed to ensure that its existence in the ontology is justified.
- Each constant will be reviewed to indicate that it is properly positioned in the ontology.
- Each constant will be reviewed to ensure that it is definitionally complete. For a constant to be considered
definitionally complete, the KB must contain GAFs using every #$OpenCycDefinitionalPredicate that makes sense for a given constant (e.g. certain GAFs only make sense for #$Predicates, etc.).
- Each ground
atomic formula (GAF) will be reviewed to be sure that it is well-formed and accurate.
Review Status Indicators
On Vocabulary Pages
- **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** indicates that the comment for this constant has not yet been reviewed for
any or all of: correctness, completeness and readability.
- **GAFs NOT REVIEWED** indicates that the constant may not be definitionally complete (as described
above) and that the GAFs on this constant may not be accurate or well-formed.

completeness.
