Availability of the system
KPML is freely available for research purposes; the latest public release can be found on the IPSI ftpserver,
ftp.darmstadt.gmd.de, under the directory /pub/komet. The system is written in
Common Lisp, using CLOS and CLIM. The resources also assume the presence of the knowledge
representation language LOOM, available free from ISI, Los Angeles, for some of their semantic
specifications. Use of other knowledge representation systems is straightforward (see Appendix C).
Note: the full functionality of KPML is now dependent on Allegro Common Lisp 4.2 or newer
with CLIM 2.0 or newer.
The system will run with reduced functionality (approximately that of KPML 0.8) on other
Common Lisp configurations; in particular with:
● Lucid Common Lisp 4.1 with and without CLIM 1 (SunOS 4)
● Lucid Common Lisp 4.2 with and without CLIM 2 (SunOS 5.3/Solaris 2.3)
Note that due to ongoing code changes that are bringing KPML into accordance with Common Lisp the
Language, second edition (Steele Jr. ) and the ANSI standard, KPML is no longer available for any
Lisps prior to the versions given above. Moreover, the version for Allegro Common Lisp/CLIM is the
only version that is currently being fully supported. gif Standalone versions of the system can be
made available for Solaris 2.3 and up.
