www.cyc.com still exists. It looks like they just got $1.6M from
the US Commerce Dept. - see the homepage.

They have the "Upper CYC Ontology" on display at
http://www.cyc.com/cyc-2-1/cover.html. I mailed info@cyc.com
once to ask if Cyc had an epistemology as well as an ontology;
they never replied.
