Computing Science Seminar by Richard Power

The talk will outline the highlights of the SWAT project (Semantic Web Authoring Tool), and focus in particular on the ontology editing tool and the controlled language on which it is based. The topics covered will be as follows:   * Corpus studies on how OWL is used in practice   * Generating coherent texts from ontologies (verbalisers)   * Suggesting names for classes etc. using text analysis   * Suggesting axioms using analysis of class/property names   * Generating explanations for entailments   * Authoring ontologies in a novel CNL-based editing tool The editing tool uses a new controlled language (OWL Simplified English) that is based on our empirical studies of how axioms and entity names are formed in practice.
