Knowledge Query Manipulation Language

Description

KQML is complementary to work on representation languages for domain content, including the DARPA Knowledge Sharing Initiative's KIF. KQML has also been used to transmit object-oriented data, and a wide range of information can be accumulated. KQML is a language for programs to use to communicate attitudes about information, such as querying, stating, believing, requiring, achieving, subscribing, and offering. KQML is indifferent to the format of the information itself, thus KQML expressions will often contain subexpressions in other so-called content languages.(Definition adapted from the original specification document)
