Hi Doug,    (01)

In general, I agree.  But the specifics seem to have escaped everyone who
has done research into this area of active NLP interfaces.  After decades,
the simple blocks world built by Terry Winograd remains the only well known
example, and even that one is considered woefully inadequate for real use.
I would like to know what is missing in the present spectrum of approaches
to NLP, but I haven't yet been able to get a full read on it.      (02)

Suggestions about what is missing would be appreciated.      (03)

-Rich    (04)

Sincerely,
Rich Cooper

An ontology certainly needs to be based on more than the names of the
terms, in fact, more than language.  Properties and rules should clarify
differences between different senses of words.    (08)

Contexts should also be defined, such that different rules apply in
different contexts.    (09)
