Unfortunately, I was never able to find that list on-line; it is referenced
in several publications, including Guo's book "Machine Tractable
Dictionaries: Design and Construction" (Ablex Publishing, 1995). Longman
created and sells a database called "mini-LDOCE" based on that set, that I
think has that list in it, but it costs several thousand dollars. Guo went
back to China and I have not been able to find contact information for him.
Still trying. (02)
For my own work, I am not at this point concerned about the minimal set of
defining words, because I also think that a useful FO will have to have a
good natural language interface, and a usable controlled vocabulary for that
purpose will probably be in excess of 3000 words, including words defined
with the basic vocabulary, not just the primitives. My own experiments in
definition use the Longman list, which is available on-line, e.g.:
http://www.micra.com/COSMO/DefiningVocabulary/ldoce-vocab.txt (03)

Interesting challenge. I will be leaving soon for a meeting and won't be
back for a week, but will look at what needs to be defined in order to
phrase that in a controlled vocabulary. (04)
