A Multilingual Semantic Wiki Based on Attempto Controlled English and Grammatical Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a semantic wiki system with an underlying controlled natural language grammar implemented in Grammatical Framework (GF). The grammar restricts the wiki content to a well-defined subset of Attempto Controlled English (ACE), and facilitates a precise bidirectional automatic translation between ACE and language fragments of a number of other natural languages, making the wiki content accessible multilingually. Additionally, our approach allows for automatic translation into the Web Ontology Language (OWL), which enables automatic reasoning over the wiki content. The developed wiki environment thus allows users to build, query and view OWL knowledge bases via a userfriendly multilingual natural language interface. As a further feature, the underlying multilingual grammar is integrated into the wiki and can be collaboratively edited to extend the vocabulary of the wiki or even customize its sentence structures. This work demonstrates the combination of the existing technologies of Attempto Controlled English and Grammatical Framework, and is implemented as an extension of the existing semantic wiki engine AceWiki.

General Architecture of a Controlled Natural Language Based Multilingual Semantic Wiki
In this paper we propose the components, the general architecture and application areas for a controlled natural language based multilingual semantic wiki. Such a wiki is a collaborative knowledge engineering environment that makes its content available via multiple languages, both natural and formal, all of them synchronized via their abstract form that is assigned by a shared grammar. We also...
متن کاملCollaborative multilingual knowledge management based on controlled natural language
User interfaces are a critical aspect of semantic knowledge representation systems, as users have to understand and use a formal representation language to model a particular domain of interest, which is known to be a difficult task. Things are even more challenging in a multilingual setting, where users speaking different languages have to create a multilingual ontology. To address these probl...
متن کاملTowards a More Natural Multilingual Controlled Language Interface to OWL
The paper presents an ongoing research that aims at OWL ontology authoring and verbalization using a deterministic controlled natural language (CNL) that would be as natural and intuitive as possible. Moreover, we focus on a multilingual CNL interface to OWL by considering both highly analytical and highly synthetic languages (namely, English and Latvian). We propose a flexible twolevel transla...
متن کاملAceWiki: A Natural and Expressive Semantic Wiki
We present AceWiki, a prototype of a new kind of semantic wiki using the controlled natural language Attempto Controlled English (ACE) for representing its content. ACE is a subset of English with a restricted grammar and a formal semantics. The use of ACE has two important advantages over existing semantic wikis. First, we can improve the usability and achieve a shallow learning curve. Second,...
متن کاملCombining Semantic Wikis and Controlled Natural Language
We demonstrate AceWiki that is a semantic wiki using the controlled natural language Attempto Controlled English (ACE). The goal is to enable easy creation and modification of ontologies through the web. Texts in ACE can automatically be translated into first-order logic and other languages, for example OWL. Previous evaluation showed that ordinary people are able to use AceWiki without being i...
