WP12 Interactive knowledge-based systems - M9

Summary of progress

During this period two major topics were addressed from the adoption phase as described in the DoW.

A GF bootcamp was held at Be Informed at June, 4-6 in cooperation with UGOT. During this bootcamp the Be Informed team first received an in-depth introduction to grammar building using the Grammatical Framework. Building on that knowledge, several workshop sessions were held to discuss the theory and practice of (semi-)automatically converting Be Informed business modeling "language" (Be Informed meta models) and "speech" (Be Informed models) to Grammatical Framework constructs. Furthermore, discussions on a number of technical issues concerning the integration of Grammatical Framework technology into the Be Informed Business Process Platform.

Also in this period, we tried to capture requirements from a large number of perspectives. Some requirements apply to the verbalization component to be developed in WP12, but many also apply to the functionality that can be based on this component. Requirements were derived from business usage scenario's:

• Review, Validation and Feedback of Models
• Text based Editing of Models
• Self documenting Models
• Textual User Interfaces for Model Driven Applications
• Communicating Model Based Decisions Also on the non-functional part of a commercial implementation of GF in the Be Informed Business Platform requirements like portability, modularity and graceful degradation performance models.

A full overview of these requirements are presented in Deliverable D12.1.
