ASK/Ogre

ASK, referring to Attribute-Value-Symbolic Knowledge, is a knowledge representation framework often employed in expert systems and artificial intelligence. It represents knowledge as a collection of attribute-value pairs linked to symbolic representations of concepts. This allows for reasoning and inference based on the relationships between attributes, their values, and the symbolic entities they describe. The framework emphasizes clarity and modularity in knowledge representation, facilitating the development of maintainable and explainable AI systems.

Ogre, an abbreviation for Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine, is a scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine written in C++. It is designed to make it easier and more intuitive for developers to produce graphics applications utilizing 3D hardware. Ogre is not a game engine; it provides only the rendering aspect, allowing developers to integrate it into their own game engines or other 3D applications. Key features include support for various rendering techniques, hardware and software platforms, and a robust plugin architecture. The engine is widely used in games, simulations, visualisations, and other graphics-intensive applications due to its performance, extensibility, and open-source nature.
