OpenCog:About
From OpenCog
The Open Cognition Framework (OpenCog) provides research scientists and software developers with a common platform to build and share artificial intelligence programs. The OpenCog Framework framework includes:
- a flexible and highly optimized in-memory database for knowledge representation,
- a plug-in architecture for cognitive algorithms and a cognitive process scheduler,
- a built-in LISP-like programming language, and
- other components to support artificial intelligence research and development.
Source & Docs
- OpenCog source code, documentation, and community tools are accessible via the OpenCog's Github page.

Free and Open Source Software
OpenCog borrows development philosophies from many FOSS projects, including Linux and Python and will maintain a highly-inclusive approach to contributions, encouraging a liberal variety of new and replacement components and cognitive architectures, while at the same time enforcing principles of code quality and software architecture consistency. OpenCog projects are released under OSI-approved free software licenses, typically AGPL and Apache2.
