DIRC is a kind of intelligent, natural language-capable consultant kit that can be retargeted at different domains. DIRC is essentially &amp;quot;empty-UC&amp;quot; (UNIX Consultant, Wilensky et al., 1988). DIRC is to include the language and reasoning mechanisms of UC, plus a large grammar and a general lexicon. The user must then add domain knowledge, user knowledge and lexical knowledge for the area of interest.</Paragraph>
