Simplified Common Logic (SCL) is a form of Common Logic with a different emphasis.

There is a slide show at https://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/SCL_for_Harry.ppt that describes SCL (local copy File:SCL for Harry.ppt .

This wiki has those slides duplicated here, with the option of enhancing them.

SCL Overview

Simplified Common Logic

A flexible framework for information interchange based on first-order logic

Simplified Common Logic

SCL ad-hoc working group (formed Dec 2002):
Pat Hayes IHMC, US
Christopher Menzel Texas A&M U., US
John Sowa VivoMind, US
Tanel Tammet U. Goteborg, Sweden
Bill Anderson OntologyWorks, US
Murray Altheim Open University, UK
Harry Delugach U. of Alabama, US

conventional First-Order Logic

  • Lexicon fixed by signature
  • Lexicon is pre-sorted into relation/function/individual names
  • One context-free syntax for expressing logical forms
  • Only ‘pure’ logical forms allowed
  • No relations in the universe of discourse
  • No global naming scheme

conventional First-Order Logic (GOFOL)

  • Lexicon fixed by signature
  • Lexicon is pre-sorted into relation/function/individual names
  • One context-free syntax for expressing logical forms
  • Only ‘pure’ logical forms allowed
  • No relations in the universe of discourse
  • No global naming scheme

All of this causes problems for interoperability and information exchange None of it is actually required by the FO semantics

conventional First-Order Logic (SCL)

  • Lexicon fixed by signature No signature required
  • Lexicon is pre-sorted into relation/function/individual names Lexical categories implicit
  • One context-free syntax for expressing logical forms Syntactic options may be user-defined
  • Only ‘pure’ logical forms allowed SCL can be intermixed with other content, including XML markup
  • No relations in the universe of discourse No restrictions on universe of quantification
  • No global naming scheme Uses WWW standard URI conventions


SCL is first-order logic with syntactic limitations removed and network use in mind.
