WP12 Interactive knowledge-based systems - M3

Summary of progress

The first 2 months we started with the Adoption phase as described in the DoW for WP12. We've focused our efforts on the requirements for the verbalization component(D12.1). We distinguish 4 categories of relevant requirements.

• Ontology verbalization
• Sentence Variants generation
• Adopt of GF in Be Informed modelling process
• Adopt GF in interactive applications for integration generated text

We presented a requirements draft to our partners in March 2012.

At the kickoff hosted by UGOT we did a first round with the UGOT people to draw up the specification to migrate Be Informed current explanation prototype to GF.

Next Steps

• Finalize requirements for D12.1
• Migrate current explanation engine to GF
• Train Be Informed co workers in GF
• Start development of business domain related abstract grammars.

Highlights

• Kickoff MOLTO-EEU
• Started requirements for verbalization component. Draft Outline shared with Partners M3.
• Started a joint paper with Monnet and MOLTO partners. The article focuses on the GF (MOLTO) and lemon(MonnetO integration in ontology lexicalization and verbalization.

Deviations from Annex I

WP12 runs longer than is indicated in the Gantt chart appearing in the Annex, however duration is correctly listed under 3.3.3. We planned for a duration of 15 months, D12.2 for instance is projected for March 2013.
