[pandorabots-general] I'm dreaming of RSS in => AIML out

[Stanley E. Honour]

I found your article quite interesting and forward thinking.  However
there are so many different scripting dialects (Even just for the
english speakers) that acronyms should not be used until you have
provided definitions.  By RSS you mean news feeds?  VKB You mean the
Verbot dialect?   Not sure what you mean by RDF.  What is a DL reasoner?
If I understand you last paragraph correctly; such a database system
already exists.  Rollo Carpenter's Jaberwacky can suck in plain text Q &
A; do a context analysis and use the data as well as most any bot that
has been programmed. No access to the underlying code structures is
allowed, very secret.  There is a text dialog editor.  He is currently
developing a scripting system that allows for more time saving and
automation than previously seen.   Also expressions and emotions for
Avatar control are being built in; not a add on.

I'm dreaming of RSS in => AIML out

I am still trying to get my head around the relationship between
chatbots and the Semantic Web, or Web 3.0.... Any thoughts or comments
on the precise nature of this relationship are welcome.

Converting from VKB back into AIML was my first crash course in working
with XML dialects.... Since then the old lightbulb has gone off, or
rather "on" I should say, and it suddenly dawned on me that the whole
hullabaloo about Web 2.0 largely centers on the exchange of metadata,
most often in the form of RSS, another XML dialect.

I was really stoked to learn of the work of Eric Freese, apparently
processing logic using the Jena framework then manually(?) converting
that RDF into AIML; however, I continue to wait for word of his
"Semetag/AIMEE" example at http://www.semetag.com .

My understanding is that it is quite do-able, as in off the shelf, to
pull RSS into a database and accumulate it there.... Could such a
database of RSS not be used as a potential knowledgebase for a chatbot?

The missing element seems to be the processing, or DL Reasoner(?).... I
have been unable to find any reference to such a web-based, modular DL
Reasoner yet....

http://www.knoodl.com seems to be the closest thing to a "Web 2.0-style"
collaborative ontology editor, which is fine for creating ontologies
collectively, however falls short of meeting the processing requirement.

In short, I'm dreaming of RSS in => AIML out. At this point I would be
happy with a "toy" or abbreviated system just to begin playing around
with all this affordably (not least time-wise). So it seems what's still
needed is a simple, plug and play "Web 2.0-style" (or is that "Web 3.0"
style?) web-based DL Reasoner that accepts common OWL ontologies, then
automagically goes from RDF into AIML....
