A. L. I. C. E. and AIML

Good day!!

I've been following Alice and Dany's development for quite some time, in fact my final year project is based on these chatterbots. Alice is capable in chatting whereas my project is based on the vocabulary domain. For instance, if a user types in the word "auspicious" then the system will generate the meaning to the users. So, the usage of the expert system is to store the words, the meaning of it and the sentence construction as well. This usage of AIML is similar to the usage of a database. So, the question is it it revelant for me to use AIML or should i just use a database like MS Access or SQL to store the words ? PLS clear my doubts. THANK YOU !!
