Cycada

CYC 4 queries in node.js on localhost or remote.

Currently experimental and slow enough it's not a good choice for client interactive code paths.

Installation

npm install cycada

Running opencyc 4.0 requires Java already be installed on your system. The OpenCYC binary will be downloaded and unpacked on npm postinstall.

Running

To run the CYC service interactively:

npm run start

To terminate all instances of CYC (in case something gets hung):

npm run stop

To run CYC as a service (requires screen):

npm run service-start

If you need to access the running instance (To Exit: CTRL + a d)

screen opencyc

Then to stop the service:

npm run service-stop

Usage

require the library

var CycServer = require('cycada');

make a connection

var cyc = new CycServer({
    host : '<host>',
    port : <port>
});

search for a concept

cyc.concepts('<name>', function(err, results){
    //do something with the results
});

perform a query [TBD - I don't currently need it, contact me if you do]

cyc.infer('<query>', function(err, results){

});

Roadmap

• Finish inferences
• Investigate supporting proprietary CYC
• Keystore based caching
• Investigate supporting UMBEL

Enjoy,
