So far I have a ton of vague notions and no real idea of where to start making sense of it all.<BR/>To date, I&#39;ve successfully used XSLT to translate a BBC news RSS feed into AIML - not very useful, but at least I was able to figure out the translation...<BR/>I know that, ideally, I need to teach the bot to query a few different knowledgebases, gather the appropriate information, and then translate it back into a sensible answer.<BR/>I&#39;d like to find a way to combine Wordnet, OpenCyc, ConceptNet, Wikipedia, and perhaps a news service or three (CNN, BBC, etc). I guess what I need is a multifaceted Rosetta stone (that and a lot more practical knowledge than I have).<BR/>Reading your blog (as well as those of Eric Freese, Dr. Wallace, KnyteTripper, and a few other pioneers) has been very helpful &amp; I&#39;ll be looking forward to hearing more about your progress.<BR/>Thanks!Kenneth Rougeauhttp://paperstreetsupplies.comnoreply@blogger.com
