Abstract:

LMS Linguistic Memory System is a knowledge representation formalism particularly designed for representing knowledge that can be straightforwardly expressed in natural language. Fundamentally, it is a semantic network formalism, a formalism for managing interconnected objects in a highly-organized, network-like memory. XLMS is a particular LISP-based implementation of LMS, intended primarily for experimental use. Author
