Summary on Grant Application Form |
The proposal is for a small project (1 PhD student and some extra support) to carry out an initial investigation of strategies for presenting parts of ontologies in natural language. The work is to be domain-independent, but dependent to some extent on the description logic used to define the ontologies (it will choose a DL representative of current state-of-the-art ontology work, as for example realised in DAML+OIL or OWL). Since modern ontologies describe concepts in terms of constraints rather than structured definitions, presenting part of an ontology will require producing a complex text, rather than a single phrase. The project will investigate using existing techniques from natural language generation for this purpose.
