ivi/vinci Documentation

These documents are divided into two lists, one devoted to the ivi editor, and the second to the vinci natural language generator. Since vinci is embedded within ivi, you should familiarize yourself at least with the basics of the ivi before exploring vinci. As you progress, you will find more advanced ivi features to be of use and should explore them.
