I wonder what is the closest thing to Cyc we have in the open source realm right now. I know that we have some pretty large knowledge bases, like Wikidata, but what about expert system shells or inference engines?

OWL and SPARQL inference engines that use RDF and DSMs - there are LISPy variants like datadog still kicking around, but there are some great, high performance reasoner FOSS projects, like StarDog or Neo4j

Looks like Knowledge Graph and semantic reasoner are the search terms du'jour, I haven't tracked these things since OpenCyc stopped being active.

Humans may not be able to effectively trudge through the creation of trillions of little rules and facts needed for an explicit and coherent expert world model, but LLMs definitely can be used for this.

StarDog is not FOSS, that github repo is for various utils around their proprietary package in my understanding, actual engine code is not open source.
