This paper first describes a technique to generate verbal descriptions of sequences of RDF triples. Then, it discusses how to apply the technique to create verbal descriptions of geographic maps which are useful to the visually impaired users or in situations where visual information cannot be displayed.

There is an exciting development in ontology description languages. However the main focus is on the knowledge representation aspect and not so much on two other aspects that are just as important in practice. First, most languages are based on some kind of untyped logic which allows to assert axioms which are not well-formed. In contrast, even the simplest database systems are equipped with so...

This paper describes the linguistic part of a system called PROVERB, which transforms, abstracts, and verbalizes machine-found proofs into formated texts. Linguistically, the architecture of PROVERB follows most application oriented systems, and is a pipe-lined control of three components. Its macroplanner linearizes a proof and plans mediating communicative acts by employing a combination of h...
