Compare these two ways of expressing the same thing: (03)
1:
Human is a mammal (04)
2:
<class> Mammal </class>
<class subClassOf:Mammal> Human </class> (05)
A NL parser can extract the same information (human is
a mammal) from NL that can also be given in a formal ontology. (06)
E.g. Lotfi Zadeh's Precisiated Natural Language PNL
is all about using the internet as the source of
knowledge, and turning it into a formalized form.
This way, the naturally evolving internet contains
similar sort of information than that what is
inserted into Cyc by hand. (07)
