It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with KIF. (Discuss)

Knowledge Interchange Format (KIF) is a computer-oriented language for the interchange of knowledge among disparate computer programs. It has declarative semantics (i.e. the meaning of expressions in the representation can be understood without appeal to an interpreter for manipulating those expressions); it is logically comprehensive (i.e. it provides for the expression of arbitrary sentences in the first-order predicate calculus); it provides for the representation of knowledge about the representation of knowledge; it provides for the representation of nonmonotonic reasoning rules; and it provides for the definition of objects, functions, and relations.
