Cogui

Participants : Alain Gutierrez, Michel Leclère, Marie-Laure Mugnier, Michel Chein, Madalina Croitoru.

Cogui (http://www.lirmm.fr/cogui ) is a tool for building and verifying knowledge bases. It is a freeware written in Java (version 1.6). Currently, it supports Conceptual Graphs and import/export in RDFS and Datalog${}^{+}$.

This year, we have particularly improved scripts, which are interpreted pieces of code allowing to freely manipulate objects of the KB. The main improvements are the following:

• script management with better bug tracking and error reporting;

• interoperability between scripts and objects of the knowledge base;

• embedding of a Java library, which allows to import java classes into scripts (a feature required in the application developed for Qualinca).
