If you are just starting, we recommend that you read the first four
pages and then go to the first module, Viewing Cyc Constants with the Web
Interface.
The Web Interface course materials assume some familiarity with Cyc and
CycL. The Syntax of
CycL may be a particularly useful reference.
Editing the Cyc KB with the Web
Interface is an important module - the subsequent modules all
involve modifications to the KB, so be sure you are comfortable with
basic editing before you go on to those.
-
Setting Up Your Web-Browser
- Some advice on browsing these pages.
Accessing The Cyc Web Interface
- How to connect to Cyc.
The Cyc Main Menu
- A menu of the major facilities provided by the Cyc web interface.
The Cyc Navigator Page
- Short cuts to all the Cyc web interface features.
Viewing Cyc Constants with the Web Interface
- The basic KB browser. The assertions of involving a constant are
displayed in a structured format.
The Hierarchy Browser
- Another way to browse the Cyc KB, displaying hierarchies of constants as
indented-text tree-structures.
Querying Cyc with the Web Interface
- An interface for querying the KB. Given a proposition with variables, Cyc
can search for sets of constants for which the proposition is true.
Editing the Cyc KB with the Web Interface
- Basic editing concepts: logging in, recording operations, sharing
operations with other machines, and using the assertion editor.
The SubL Interactor
- This facility can evaluate SubL expressions on the Cyc server
machine and display the results. To be used with care, since internal
datastructures of SubL and the Cyc application may be accessed and
modified. The execution or arbitrary code is also a security weakness.
Can be used to alter system parameters and to perform Cyc Functional
Interface (FI) operations.
