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, Stephen Clark hosts a copy of just the C&C Parser downloads on his Cambridge website. The files available there are 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 for added stability, I've downloaded and added them to this repository. The following section is taken verbatim from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sc609/candc-1.00.html.

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))))))))))).
