EnterpriseCyc is a fully supported version of the knowledge base and reasoning technology that includes enterprise-grade development, deployment, and administration capabilities. It can be licensed for commercial applications. Academic institutions also have the option to license ResearchCyc, a full version of the knowledge base and reasoning technology that is strictly for non-commercial research purposes. The Platforms provide a powerful knowledge representation language (CycL), a vast ontology of concepts and relations, and a formally modeled repository of knowledge about these concepts enabling you to build on decades of knowledge modeling rather than starting from a blank page. In addition, Cyc includes an inference (reasoning) engine that makes use of a large suite of custom reasoners that provide unparalleled performance over a large knowledge base and any volume of data.
