AIKIF 0.0.4

Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Information Framework

#AIKIF
#####Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Information Framework

##Overview
This is an example framework to capture the flow of information initially for personal data management, but ultimately useful for AI applications.<br />

The intent is to allow any type of raw data to be machine understandable using data collectors, ontologies, business mapping rules and embedded tags in programs.

###Progress
Area | status
--- | --- |
| Code base version | Pre-Alpha |
| Public package version | 0.0.4 |
| Date notes updated | 25/02/2015 |


###Quick Start
This github repository [https://github.com/acutesoftware/AIKIF](https://github.com/acutesoftware/AIKIF) contains the latest code, but the current public release is available via

`pip install aikif`

There are some basic examples shown in the aikif/examples folder:<br />
Project Management<br/>
Code Management<br/>
Personal Information Management<br/>

To start the web interface use `aikif/web_app/web_aikif.py` or the batch file `aikif\go_web_aikif`




##Data Structures
Data type | description |
--- | ---
| events | any time or date based subset of information gets logged here |
| facts | the text of the information |
| contacts | person details extracted and linked from text or column in table |
| locations | physical location in world, or virtual location on network / computer disk |


##Programs
###Main Programs
|Filename | description |
--- | ---
|go_web_aikif.bat | starts the web server for the AIKIF admin interface|
|index.py | creates text indexes of all the files|
|search.py | searches, using both indexes and ontologies|
|mapper.py | applies business rules to map raw input to aikif data structures|
|context.py | determines user context|
|bias.py | user defined ranking of raw data by source / type / person / date|

###Toolbox
Various modules which contain generic functions

This section is where developers add their own programs to be logged and mapped.


###DataTools
collection of modules to manage data transformations

###Standard Library Programs
AIKIF_utils.py - standard utils for the filelists<br />
file_mapping.py - main routine that decides what the output files will be called<br />
security.py - manages security, which will allow users to have private data (not the norm for this)<br />



###Agents
Most processes are run via the `agent.py` class to allow for the logging and management.

These programs are used to load a specific dataset, the code used to parse each file is in a separate load procedure<br />
processRawData.py - this calls all data load programs and logs results<br />
create_word_lists.py - loads a list of nouns, verbs, adjectives from web into local structures<br />
loadCountry_Gdeltproject.py - loads a country reference file<br />
loadPIM_Filelist.py - loads a list of local files into objects, events, photos<br />
loadPIM_shopping.py - sample to show how a personal shopping list is loaded<br />
