This paper proposes the use of the Unified Modelling Language (UML) as a formalism for defining an abstract syntax for Agent Communication Languages (ACLs) and their associated content languages. It describes an approach supporting a formal automatic mapping from high-level abstract specifications of language structures to specific computer language bindings and in-memory structures that can be...

with the advent of the distinctive characterization of academic languagein the past thirty years, there has been atremendous move in the esl/efl world towardsformulatinginstructional techniques compatible with the very nature of these skills. as a part of this effort, this studyinvestigated the role of content and language integrated learning (clil) approach in achieving these ends. the study e...

This lecture discusses the role of language and information theory concepts for data compression and solving the inverse problem. The concept of Algorithmic Information Content (AIC) is introduced and shown to be crucial to achieving optimal data compression and optimized Bayesian priors for image reconstruction. The dependence of the AIC on the selection of language then suggests how e±cient c...

This document defines a "Content-language:" header, for use in the case where one desires to indicate the language of something that has RFC822-like headers, like MIME body parts or Web documents. It also preserves (but does not standardize) an extension to multipart/alternative for use when multiple language variants of a document are transmitted. Content Language Headers Harald Alvestrand dra...

The success of the Web is due to a large extent in the development of standards that allow interoperability in open environments. Future work in the field will have greater impact if it is based and built on existing standards. Well-accepted international standards for multimedia content descriptions are MPEG-7 and TV-Anytime. However, these standards do not propose a concrete methodology and l...

At OWLED2007 a task force was formed to work towards a common Controlled Natural Language Syntax for OWL 1.1. In this paper members of the task force compare three controlled natural languages (CNLs) — Attempto Controlled English (ACE), Ordnance Survey Rabbit (Rabbit), and Sydney OWL Syntax (SOS) — that have been designed to express the logical content of OWL 1.1 ontologies. The common goal of ...
