--------------------------------------
OpenCyc is a wide-ranging and increasingly comprehensive ontology that describes things and events in the world in logical terms that computers can reason about. Its purpose is to provide a shared vocabulary for Web applications, allowing them to automatically reason about, and integrate, the content of web sites and web services. The OpenCyc ontology and knowledge base goes beyond tag-sets, taxonomies, and other reference vocabularies, because it has been designed and extensively tested for use in automated reasoning. As Andraž Tori, CTO of Zemanta Ltd. sees it,

"Common semantic vocabularies are the missing link for the semantic web. Blogs cover an incredible range of subjects, so meaning-based content integration using the huge OpenCyc ontology can provide an amazing user experience for bloggers and other content authors."

About the President and CEO of Cycorp developing this technology, Douglas Lenat:

http://cyc.com/cyc/company/lenat

Doug is one of the world's leading computer scientists, and is both the founder of the CYC® project and the president of Cycorp. He has been a Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie-Mellon University and Stanford University. He is a prolific author, whose hundreds of publications include the books

Knowledge Based Systems in Artificial Intelligence (1982, McGraw-Hill)
Building Expert Systems (1983, Addison-Wesley)
Knowledge Representation (1988, Addison-Wesley)
Building Large Knowledge Based Systems (1989, Addison-Wesley)

His 1976 Stanford thesis earned him the bi-annual IJCAI Computers and
Thought Award in 1977.

He was one of the original Fellows of the AAAI (American Association for
Artificial Intelligence).

From Wikipedia:

Douglas B. Lenat (born in 1950) is the CEO of Cycorp, Inc. of Austin, Texas, and has been a prominent researcher in artificial intelligence, especially machine learning (with his AM and Eurisko programs), knowledge representation, blackboard systems, and "ontological engineering" (with his Cyc program at MCC and at Cycorp). He has also worked in military simulations and published a critique of conventional random-mutation Darwinism[citation needed] based on his experience with Eurisko. Lenat was one of the original Fellows of the AAAI.

Lenat's quest, in the Cyc project, to build the basis of a general artificial intelligence by manually representing knowledge in the formal language, CycL, based on extensions to first-order predicate calculus has not been without its critics, among them many members of the MIT hacker culture. It is perhaps for this reason that "bogosity" is jokingly said to be measured in microlenats according to the Jargon File, the lenat being considered too large for practical use.

At the University of Pennsylvania, Lenat received his Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Physics, and his Master's degree in Applied Mathematics in 1972. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University (published in Knowledge-based systems in artificial intelligence, along with the Ph.D. thesis of Randall Davis, McGraw-Hill, 1982) in 1976. His advisor was Professor Edward Feigenbaum.

In 1976 Lenat started teaching at Carnegie-Mellon and commenced his work on Eurisko, but returned to Stanford in a teaching role in 1978. His continuing work on Eurisko led to attention in 1982 from DARPA and MCC in Austin, Texas. In 1984 he left Stanford to commence work on Cyc[1], the fruits of which were spun out of MCC into Cycorp in 1994. In 1986, he estimated the effort to complete Cyc would be 250,000 rules and 350 man-years of effort[2].

As of 2006, Lenat continues his work on Cyc at Cycorp. He is also a member of TTI/Vanguard's advisory board.

Quotes

"Intelligence is ten million rules."

"The time may come when a greatly expanded Cyc will underlie countless software applications. But reaching that goal could easily take another two decades." [3]

"Once you have a truly massive amount of information integrated as knowledge, then the human-software system will be superhuman, in the same sense that mankind with writing is superhuman compared to mankind before writing."

About some of his work from CNN article dated February 12, 2003

Doug Lenat, president of Cycorp, says his researchers have built the beginnings of a system to identify calling patterns between suspected terrorists.

Financed by more than $20 million in government contracts, researchers are taking the first steps toward developing a system that could sift through the financial, telephone, travel and medical records of millions of people in hopes of identifying terrorists before they strike. So far, the companies awarded contracts by the Defense Department are using only fabricated data in their work on the program, which is called Total Information Awareness.

The Pentagon's technology chief, Pete Aldridge, has said the department is interested in tying together such privately held data as credit card records, bank transactions, car rental receipts and gun purchases, along with massive quantities of intelligence information already gathered by the federal government.

The project has met some resistance in Congress because of privacy concerns. Some lawmakers are pushing an amendment to a spending bill that would prohibit the system from ever gathering information on American citizens without a congressional vote approving it.

Meanwhile, contractors and researchers told The Associated Press that they have already been developing pieces of TIA.

For example, Doug Lenat, president of Texas-based Cycorp, said his researchers had already built a system to identify phone-calling patterns as they might exist among potential terrorists overseas.

Other TIA contractors include defense giant Raytheon and Telcordia, an elecommunications company specializing in research and development. Several
other companies have been waiting to finalize deals.

So far, contractors have worked with fake data, things like made-up telephone numbers and receipts that look like real consumer records, but aren't, according to interviews and public records.

Aldridge outlined the program in a news conference in November after questions arose about the choice of John Poindexter to head TIA.

The former admiral and national security adviser to President Reagan has been a lightning rod.

A figure in the Iran-Contra scandal, he was convicted on charges of lying to Congress, destroying official documents and obstructing a congressional investigation. The verdicts were overturned on appeal.

From the start, the idea of TIA has proven controversial, pitting national security worries against fears the government would run roughshod over individual privacy.

"We're talking about the most expansive, far reaching surveillance program ever proposed. The Congress has got to take a stand here," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, who has led efforts to restrict TIA.

Pentagon officials declined repeated interview requests by AP for this story. After coming under earlier Senate criticism, the Defense Department named a TIA oversight panel and issued a news release denying it is building a gigantic database.

However, a document that was part of the department's bid solicitation for the TIA said "the term 'database' is intended to convey a new kind of extremely large, omni-media, virtually-centralized and semantically rich information repository."

Peter Higgins, a consultant and former CIA chief information officer, said what officials wanted from TIA was a system that would use relevant private and government compiled information to spot patterns or convergences.

For example, a government-collected list of every person treated for anthrax exposure could help find people plotting a biological attack. Even more useful: finding people on that list who also telephone Afghanistan.

Electronic records are already ubiquitous in corporate America. Businesses keep lists of cardiac patients, BMW owners, subscribers to porn magazines, even people who tend to do their grocery shopping about the time they receive sales circulars, Higgins said.

Privacy laws governing the disclosure of personal electronic data vary widely, depending on the type of data.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act, for example, forbids credit bureaus from combining the data they collect about a customer's on-time payment history with data the bureaus sell to direct marketers. The Federal Election Commission allows the Republican and Democratic parties to sell lists of people who contribute.

The Pentagon began advertising for bids to work on TIA last March, inviting ideas to exploit "novel" information sources and new electronic research methods.

Overseeing the research is the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, or DARPA, the same office that developed the Internet. According to the published solicitation, DARPA planned a five-year timeline for TIA: three to develop ideas and demonstrations, two to build and expand on the most promising ones.

The TIA budget is $30 million from the current and past fiscal years.

In all, 26 bids were received, said DARPA spokeswoman Jan Walker. Four companies were awarded contracts. According to the TIA Web site, many other organizations were already working on pieces Poindexter planned to connect to TIA.

The companies included:

• Cycorp, based in Austin, Texas, which was awarded $9.8 million to work on a prototype database. The company specializes in searching data.

• Telcordia, based in Morristown, New Jersey, which won a $5.2 million contract to focus on connecting data already available within different government offices.

• Hicks Associates, of McLean, Virginia, which was awarded $3.6 million to study the feasibility of TIA, how it would develop, and to create a prototype.

• Booz, Allen & Hamilton, based in Falls Church, Virginia, which won a $1.5 million contract. Its purpose was not publicly disclosed.

Raytheon Co., based in Lexington, Massachusetts, which confirmed that it is under contract with DARPA. Spokesman David Shay declined to outline Raytheon's specific role.

Another research firm, RAND Corp., based in Santa Monica, California, confirmed it was expecting to work on TIA. Neither the company nor the Pentagon would provide details.
