<H2>Indexed Concept Parsing code</H2>
7+
8+
Indexed Concept Parsing is demonstrated in a simple system for interacting
9+
with customers, in a micro version of the
10+
<A HREF="http://techreport.ils.nwu.edu/tr51.html">Casper Project</A>.
11+
This code was written in Macintosh Common Lisp, version 2.1, but should
12+
be portable to other Lisps as well.
13+
14+
15+
<H2>Files</H2>
16+
17+
There are five sections of the Code/ various utilities, a frame system,
18+
a version of Direct Memory Access Parsing, and
19+
a version of indexed concept parsing. All of these are combined
20+
in the micro-Casper verison.

24+
<dl>
25+
<dt><A HREF="Code/micro-frame.lisp">Micro-frame.lisp</A>
26+
<dd> A simple frame system, based on code by Chris Riesbeck. It supports
27+
frame definition, features, abstractions and specializations.

<dd> A simple version of Direct Memory Access Parsing, based on code by Chris Riesbeck.
35+
It is based on the simple frame system.

41+
<dt><A HREF="Code/micro-icp.lisp">Micro-ICP.lisp</A>
42+
<dd> A simple version of indexed concept parsing.
43+
It uses a DMAP-based matcher, and the frame system.

shows how indexed concept parsing works.

<H3>Utilities</H3>

Much of the code depends on the availability of these utilities.

a simple loading system. It also defines specific file dependencies.

<dt><A HREF="Code/Utilities/tables.lisp">tables.lisp</A>
71+
<dd> This is a simple table facility; that is, a way to simply define key to

data tables.

<H2>Running Micro-Casper</h2>
98+
99+
In order to run Micro-Casper, do the following:
100+
101+
<ol>
102+
<li>Edit the file <A HREF="ICP.system">ICP.system</A> and change the appropriate
103+
path names.
104+
<li>Load the file <A HREF="ICP.system">ICP.system</A>.
105+
<li>Run (SETUP)
106+
</ol>
107+
108+
An example run of the Casper system can be seen in the
109+
<A HREF="Results/casper.example">Casper example</A> file.
