Tool

CGWorld

Synopsis

CGWorld is a Web based workbench for distributed development of a knowledge base of Conceptual Graphs, which resides on a central server. It combines utilities for visualization, representation, search, and inference on CGs. It is implemented in Java and Prolog. The workbench includes a graphical, easy to use CG Editor. CGWorld has facilities for translating CGs between four different formats - Display form, CGLex, FOPC, and CGIF. It contains implementation of the CG inference rules join, generalization, specialization, type extraction and type contraction. Operations on conceptual graphs can be requested through a user-friendly interface and the resulting CGs are visualized in display form.

Platform

Java 2 (JDK 1.3.1); SISCTus Prolog 3.8.x; Tomcat 3.1.1. Tested under Windows NT/2000.

Compliance with CGTools CGIF final graphs

Syntactic

Level 2. CGWorld's CGIF conversion parser [convert.bat] can translate most of the syntax as specified in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the June 2001 version of the CG Standard. It, however, does not do Section 7.3 yet.

Semantic

Level 2. This is using the CGIF files after conversion to the CGWorld system.
Level 5. Using the hand converted files to CGWorld internal format.
