Hi Rob
I assume you're really busy working on TAP 1.0.
I just wanted to emphasize that the little tidbits
of info. I'm sending you (from MKE) are intended
to provide insight into the Class structure and
to help find any inconsistency/error in the KB.
For example, MKE says
$ ke
...
# clock <2003/08/19 08:56:42> # finished user initialization script
# INFO: kbmode = mke
# INFO: kbdata = http://panic.stanford.edu/data/
# INFO: kbfile = &null
##### ready for new knowledge #####
##### use <do menu done;> for MKE input menu #####
##### use <exit;> or <EOF> to exit ke #####
##### parse_file &input KFORMAT <ku> #####
ke$ set echo=off,kbmode=tap;
# assignment <set echo = off;>
ke$ Property isa* ?;
Property
\ Class
\\ Resource
# WARNING: get_primitive: ignoring (string[19]) <Resource type Class>
# WARNING: get_primitive: ignoring(string[16]) <Class type Class>
ke$
which shows that the statement
Property subClassOf Resource
is missing in the "new" panic KB.
The same error exists in the "next" KB
tapkb-1.0pre.tar.gz
which resides (unzipped) on my Linux system
# INFO: kbdata = http://rhm586/data/
