I would like some examples of using frames or semantic nets.  I understand these
two terms
are synonymous.
 
   (1)  Can anyone reference me to a text book example I can try out to better
understand
          how to use frames?   I have "Knowledge Systems and Prolog" By Walker
(et al) which 
          contains a section on frames,  but the examples are trivial and
incomplete.

   (2)   What tools are available for implementing frames and semantic nets? 
Apparently
          Prolog is one option.  I've heard  that ART, Knowledge Craft, KEE are
options.  

          (a) What other options are there.
          (b)  Can anybody give me address and phone numbers for ART, Knowledge
craft and KEE
                 so I can aquire some literature from them?
