Calo Ontology Development and Support

The purpose of the CALO ontology is to provide vocabulary for semantic interchange of information and for asking questions. It also provides the taxonomic structure that is used for reasoning within the IRIS knowledge base. Its use to support other forms of inference, for example, for task learning, is still under investigation.

During CALO Y4, the primary enhancement to the CALO ontology was the design of a Task Interface Registry (TIR). The following documentation is available for this effort:

Two technical reports (see below) highlighting the knowledge engineering and knowledge representation issues are available.
