Well, the subject says it all...
I don't know much about prolog, but I think it'd be usefull to have
prolog parse sentences and store them in a facts database possibly using
RDBMS persistence. The stored facts could then be used to infer answers
to specific questions. This is very high level intuition at this stage,
but I guess one could rather easily build useful systems to help people
recall a good recipe with a number of constraints for example, or a
friend's birthdate, or even be notified of external events if we provide
some kind of interface to RSS streams, etc,...
As AFAIK prolog's syntax stems from the same principles as lojban, one
could think of lojban as a /user interface/ to a prolog system rather
than design a new programming language from scratch.
