Multilingual RDF and OWL
نویسندگان
چکیده
RDF uses the RFC3066 standard for language tags for literals in natural languages. The revision RFC3066bis includes productive use of language, country and script codes. These form an implicit ontology of natural languages for marking-up texts. Relating each language tag with classes of appropriately tagged literals allows this implicit ontology to be made explicit as an ontology in OWL in which every class in the ontology is a datarange. The treatment extends to XML Literals, which may have multiple embedded language tags. Further features of RFC3066bis such as the relationship with deprecated codes, language ranges and language tag fallback can be expressed in OWL. A small change to the RDF model theory is suggested to permit access to the language tag in the formal semantics, giving this ontology a precise formal meaning. Illustrative use cases refer to use of English, Japanese, Chinese and Klingon texts.

LexiRes RDF/OWL Editor: Maintaining Multilingual Resources
In this article we present the RDF/OWL LexiRes Tool that supports authors using RDF/OWL structures in editing and structuring ontologies. In contrast to standard ontology editors like e.g. Protégé [20], this tool was especially designed to support the use of multilingual resources, and in particular the use of RDF/OWL EuroWordNet word senses and translations [4]. Related concepts can be searche...
متن کاملRDF/XHTML: Ontology Editing in HTML
Although global, the web and its standards are not language independent. Semantic Web document standards remain skewed toward Western languages and alphabets. This causes problems for truly multilingual terminology work in the Semantic Web. Some of the problems are discussed and remedied by the proposals in this paper. In particular, we present a format for representing RDF triple sets in XHTML...
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...

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 کاملMultilingual Ontology-based User Profile Enrichment
In this paper, we discuss the possibility of enriching user profiles with multilingual information. Nowadays, the English language is the de facto standard language of commerce and science, however users can speak and interact also in other languages. This brings up the need of enriching the user profiles with multilingual information. Therefore, we propose to combine ontology-based user modeli...
