Knowledge/Q/Did Douglas Lenat have a wiki?

• Did Person/Douglas Lenat have a wiki?

  • AI Answer

    • Short answer: I found no evidence that Douglas Lenat maintained a personal wiki or a public wiki under his own name.
    • His documented knowledge project was Cyc, a formal knowledge base and ontology developed through Cycorp. Cyc's official knowledge-base page and platform description describe the system as a large body of codified common-sense knowledge used for machine reasoning.
    • The pages titled Douglas Lenat on Open WIKI and DougLenat on MeatballWiki are third-party wiki entries about him. They are evidence that other people documented Lenat, not that he maintained a wiki.
    • The best-supported answer is therefore: Lenat built and led a formal knowledge base, especially Cyc, but no personal wiki has surfaced in the sources checked.
