Awesome

Nota bene: This project is entirely unsupported. I have not been able to get it to work, so creating an issue asking for guidance would be futile. If you have files to contribute, or build instructions / documentation that others might find useful, awesome! Please submit a PR here.

candc

The canonical site, http://svn.ask.it.usyd.edu.au/trac/candc, is totally down.

Luckily, the Wayback Machine has archived most of that site:

• Latest capture of the C&C tools main page

Unfortunately, James Curran put all the downloads behind a registration wall, so the Wayback Machine doesn't have any records of those.

Fortunately, by the time I got around to creating this repository, Stephen Clark still hosted a copy of the downloads on his Cambridge website, http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sc609/candc-1.00.html (latest capture on the Wayback Machine). The files available there were the 1.00 version, so not the latest version of everything, but better than nothing!

That site and files are currently still live and accessible, but because I knew that would happen, I downloaded and added them to this repository. The following section is taken verbatim from Stephen Clark's "C&C Parser Downloads" page.

I have no idea. Creative Commons should come up with something for abandonware.

Other resurrections

An Inria researcher runs a live demo server at http://valeriobasile.github.io/candcapi/

To repeat the needlessly heteronormative example from that page (the patriarchy is strong with this one):

curl -d 'Every man loves a woman' 'http://gingerbeard.alwaysdata.net/candcapi/proxy.php/raw/pipeline?semantics=fol'

fol(1,not(some(A,and(n1man(A),not(some(B,some(C,and(r1patient(B,C),and(r1agent(B,A),and(v1love(B),n1woman(C))))))))))).
