Hi Sandra, 
please find below the links to two papers describing the general approach mentioned by Jerry.

One advantage of this is that both systems are written in Lisp, so integration is extremely straightforward. SCONE is flexible enough to encode a wide range of conceptual knowledge, if you choose to use it that way. Let me know if you would like more details and I can send you the implementation of my bridge.
