Generating Natural Language Descriptions of Ontology Concepts
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper gives an overview of ongoing work on a system for the generation of NL descriptions of classes defined in OWL ontologies. We present a general structuring approach for such descriptions. Since OWL ontologies do not by default contain the information necessary for lexicalization, lexical information has to be added to the data via annotations. A rulebased mechanism for automatically deriving these annotations is presented.

Ontology Verbalization using Semantic-Refinement
In this paper, we propose a rule-based technique to generate redundancy-free natural language (NL) descriptions of Web Ontology Language (OWL) entities. The existing approaches which address the problem of verbalizing OWL ontologies generate NL text segments which are close to their counterpart statements in the ontology. Some of these approaches also perform grouping and aggregating of these N...
متن کاملGenerating Multilingual Personalized Descriptions from OWL Ontologies on the Semantic Web: the NaturalOWL System∗
We present Naturalowl, an open-source multilingual natural language generation system that produces personalized descriptions of individuals and classes, starting from a linguistically annotated ontology. The generator is heavily based on ideas from ilex and m-piro, but it is in many ways simpler and it provides native support for owl dl ontologies, which we annotate with linguistic and user mo...
متن کاملGenerating Multilingual Descriptions from Linguistically Annotated OWL Ontologies: the NaturalOWL System
We introduce Naturalowl, an open-source multilingual natural language generator that produces descriptions of instances and classes, starting from a linguistically annotated ontology. The generator is heavily based on ideas from ilex and m-piro, but it is in many ways simpler and it provides full support for owl dl ontologies with rdf linguistic annotations. Naturalowl is written in Java, and i...
متن کاملOn generating coherent multilingual descriptions of museum objects from Semantic Web ontologies
During the last decade, there has been a shift from developing natural language generation systems to developing generic systems that are capable of producing natural language descriptions directly from Web ontologies. To make these descriptions coherent and accessible in different languages, a methodology is needed for identifying the general principles that would determine the distribution of...
متن کاملRedundancy-free Verbalization of Individuals for Ontology Validation
We investigate the problem of verbalizing Web Ontology Language (OWL) axioms of domain ontologies in this paper. The existing approaches address the problem of fidelity of verbalized OWL texts to OWL semantics by exploring different ways of expressing the same OWL axiom in various linguistic forms. They also perform grouping and aggregating of the natural language (NL) sentences that are genera...
