As of right now, the link on this line https://github.com/AndrewSmart/opencyc/blame/97472941221b6636e7d2f9de90603bd9c6360efe/README.md#L27 returns 403 Forbidden.

Oh interesting, thanks for letting me know. Apparently they discontinued Opencyc in early 2017? I admit their API names were confusing without looking at their diagrams.

I don't have a copy of the binary data (jars/KB). I may have a copy of them on an old encrypted Linux partition that MS Windows messed up... I haven't gotten around to fixing that. If I do I'll push it here. Otherwise I'd welcome a pull request.

Looks like this bit in the readme is probably false now as well:

"In the future the intention is for both the Core API and OpenCyc API to support OpenCyc 4.0."

I do dislike it when resources associated with books disappear into thin air, makes the books useless.

I haven't attempted to verify the authenticity of these files.

Oh thank you daveloyall.

I might pull the jars from that that backup... and hope they don't have any malware. I don't think the KB in binary form belongs in GIT version control, so maybe I'll set the script to import from an OWL representation of the OpenCyc KB instead. IDK. Thanks again.

Hey no problem, I hate it too when things go missing. :)

Remember my username and if you have trouble finding something in the future, for this project or others, just holler.
