Abstract

In artificial intelligence these days, just about anything that’s any good is knowledge-based’. Consequently, knowledge representation formalisms are big business, and are available in a wide range of styles and colors to suit the various demands of consumers in the marketplace. In this paper, I want to argue that consumers in the natural language understanding research community are not as well served as they might be, and many of their needs have been overlooked.
