A large part of what we use is on the CSLI web site that
contains the IBM-CSLI Verb Ontology: (03)
http://www-csli.stanford.edu/~arunm/ (04)
Another large part is the KR ontology on my web site: (05)
http://www.jfsowa.com/ontology (06)
Another general principle is that we use some loosely related
(and even unrelated) resources to interpret NL text. See (07)
http://www.jfsowa.com/pubs/paradigm.pdf
Two Paradigms Are Better Than One,
And Multiple Paradigms Are Even Better (08)
But another very general principle is the lattice of theories:
we don't have a single, privileged ontology. Instead, we use
tools that select or construct a special-purpose ontology for
any particular domain. (09)
Some of that construction can be done in a semi-automated way
by a SME who uses our ontology construction tools to extract
a proto-ontology from a document or a collection of documents
and then uses CLCE to add, correct, or refine the results. (010)
But other construction is done in an automated way on a
sentence-by-sentence level along the lines of the paradigm.pdf
article. So the short answer is that we construct ontologies
dynamically. That's the title of the following paper: (011)
http://www.jfsowa.com/pubs/dynonto.pdf (012)
These techniques use real semantics, unlike LOD, which has no
semantics. It's much easier to extract real semantics from
untagged NL text than from the kind of CSV or RDF that people
are producing. (013)
That is why I am so frustrated with what has happened to the
Semantic Web. As I said before, I was hopeful about it a dozen
years ago. But today, untagged documents in unrestricted NL are
a more reliable and *computable* source of semantic information. (014)

PS: Do you have any articles that describe your "Common Logic IDE"? (016)
