problem in tuprolog

Question

i downloaded the tuprolog and i'm not able to get the result for the following query, while i get answer in PROL ide.. can someone help?

verb(admit-1).
verb(work-4).
nsubjpass(admit-1, patient-2).
agent(admit-1, doctor-3).
nsubj(work-4, who-5).
aux(work-4, be-6).
rcmod(doctor-3, work-4).
prep_in(work-4, clinic-7).

aggregation('denote by').

object(X) :- noun(X).
relation(X) :-  verb(X).
rel(X,Y) :- nsubjpass(X,Y).
rel(X,Y) :- agent(X,Y).
rel(X,Y) :- nsubj(X,Y).
rel(X,Y) :- aux(X,Y).
rel(X,Y) :- rcmod(X,Y).
rel(X,Y) :- prep_in(X,Y).

associatedWith(X,Y) :- rel(X,Y).
associatedWith(X,Y,Z) :- verb(Y),associatedWith(X,Y), associatedWith(Y,Z).
associatedWith(X,Y,Z) :- verb(X),associatedWith(X,Y), associatedWith(X,Z).
rel_aggregation(X,Y,R):-rel(X,Y).aggregation(R).

?- associatedWith(X,Y,Z).

i need to handle these kind of relations and get the output to process again in java

can anyone please tell me how to integrate prolog and java?

EDIT: i get this error in tuprolog by implementing the code

this code works for associatedWith(X,Y). i.e with 2 arguments, but doesnt work when i give 3 arguments associatedWith(X,Y,Z). what to do.. pls help i get this exception

Answer 1

The main tuProlog objects you need to handle in Java are: Theory, that you can use to represent a Prolog program; Prolog, that is the interpreter which you will ask queries to; and SolveInfo, containing data for each solution found by the interpreter.

Let's suppose your Prolog program (i.e. all the code you posted except the last line) is contained in a file named theory.pl. Roughly speaking (i.e. modulo imports and exceptions), the procedure you need to follow is similar to:

Prolog engine = new Prolog();
Theory theory = new Theory(new FileInputStream("theory.pl"));
engine.setTheory(theory);
SolveInfo solution = engine.solve("associatedWith(X, Y, Z).");
if (solution.isSuccess()) {
    System.out.println(solution.getTerm("X"));
    System.out.println(solution.getTerm("Y"));
    System.out.println(solution.getTerm("Z"));
}

If your query possibly yields more than one solution, use a while loop to test the existence of open choice points with Prolog.hasOpenAlternatives and retrieve another solution with Prolog.solveNext.

Chapter 8 in the manual (a PDF file you should find in the doc subdirectory of any tuProlog distribution) contains lots of small examples of increasing complexity about interacting with Prolog from Java code (see in particular Section 8.4).

Answer 2

agent/2 is a built-in predicate in tuProlog - you could try renaming your version.
