[pandorabots-general] AIML <-> OWL ??

[john kontos]

Dear Marcus
I have been proposing since 1992 to use a text as a
knowledge base without any representation but aided
only by an ontology.
You may care to read the attached paper.
Congratulations for the good "green" work.
A very happy new year for you
John from Athens Greece.
