In AIML I have seen various files where the Bot properties is being used. For example : 

<bot name="name" />

Here, the bot name is being used, but I am not able to find the place where to set this property, i.e. where should I define the name.

On searching I found that its stored in the .properties (link) file, but I cannot find the file anywhere.

There is also a github repsitory which has many files and used the bot properties, but here also no .properties file : Repo Link

So, where should I store the .properties file and if not then how should I add the bot properties in AIML.

As the AIML 2.0 working draft said:

The AIML standard does not specify where or how the properties, sets, maps, substitutions and predicates are defined. This is an implementation detail left up to the interpreter designer.

As an example, I am working with program-ab which is a Java implementation of the AIML interpreter.

The properties info of a bot is placed in a file named config/properties.txt.

The format is like:

name: Alice
age: 22
gender: female

You can find more info about the program-ab configurations at Configuration.wiki.

If you are working with other kinds of implementation such as Python or whatever, the properties file path and its format may be found inside the wiki or docs.

  • I'm not sure why Shi's answer was downvoted. Here is more recent documentation that reiterates the point about setting those immutable bot properties being a responsibility of the interpreter, not the ML, even unto no tag available to achieve that: http://www.aiml.foundation/doc.html – Justin Mar 26 '20 at 18:33
