I was just pondering if the Prolog universal quantifier would be applicable to reasoning about Cyc frames. Does your comment imply it's not?

I'm somewhat familiar with Cyc but I'd never heard of this development of "micro-theories". It makes perfect sense though - to generalize hugely structured ontologies break as soon as the second person tries to use them or they are used on a slightly different domain.

Anyway, Prolog should be suitable for reasoning over them, but it is only grounded in the "micro-theory" part.
