AGENDA

MINUTES

MXW is officially out of the Consortium, the EC has been notified and MOLTO needs to find a new partner. We approached IRF but the PO, upon inspection, has found this a risky choice. The EPO has been suggested by the PO but Aarne has also been previously contacted by them. He sent email and received very positive feedback. It is not sure if they will join as a partner. They are looking into the details of the workplan and will let us know ASAP. EPO would meet the EU requirement.

According to our workplan, we are behind schedule slightly so the workplan will need to be amended in the next report.

UPC needs the patent corpus for carrying out experiments - they will start with an artificial corpus. UGOT needs to develop more grammar tools before getting into the patent case.

Ontology interoperability is proceeding according to plan. Proof of concept showed that more effort than expected is needed to derive the grammars for covering the queries. Corpus of sentences used for evaluation will be collected and is based on a limited ontology - it will illustrate the NL queries that are expected. From this, we will produce guidelines for non experts entering the queries. Krasimir is visiting Sofia and will go to Ontotext to clarify usage of GF.

Kangaroo problems are planned as word problems. Question of hiring personel ahead of WP start. Change of the workplan requested.

Aarne leaves the meeting.

OC reminds of D10.1 - please collect planned activities.

Deliverables are all in dissemination.
