Sorry. Common Logic (CL) is a recent ISO standard    (02)

http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=39175    (03)

which defines a version of first-order logic specially designed for 
interchange on a network. It allows for various 'dialects'. You can 
have one copy of the standard for free downloaded from    (04)

http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c039175_ISO_IEC_24707_2007(E).zip    (05)

Theres a bunch of history and related stuff at http://cl.tamu.edu/ 
which you might (or might not) find useful.    (06)

IKL is an extension of one CL dialect, CLIF, extended by the addition 
of proposition names of the form (that <sentence>), eg as in    (07)

(Believes John (that (GoodLooking Sue)))    (08)

and also by a convention where any character string can be treated as 
a function of no arguments whose value is whatever the string denotes 
when its used as a name. Sounds weird, but it lets the logic reason 
about its own naming conventions, which is very handy.    (09)

For a readable intro to IKL (and therefore, by the way, to CLIF) , try    (010)
