Abstract
We have presented a working system that integrates in a homogeneous way multi-facets and part-whole hierarchies. Of course many improvements are in order, notably some form of compilation to gain speed.
The main direction to be explored, in our opinion, is the meta-knowledge needed to implement reasoning about the system. Our first attempt was to couple Systalk with our version of OPUS [10], a Smalltalk-80 interpretation of OPS-5 (see Pachet [11]) and to have OPUS production rules control a Systalk robot. The next will be to integrate a powerful semantic network. Work is going on in this way.
