I completely disagree with this.
L&C's technology possesses NLP capabilities. In specific, we have automated 
analysis of free text, it translates the terms found into existing (or 
non-existing) ontology concepts and is able introduce meaningful relations.
Our NLP engine (Tessi) detects paragraphs, finds sentence boundaries, uses a 
dependency parser to get a correct parse-tree, and uses a semantic tagger to 
infer ontology concepts from these parsetrees. The ontocreation module is able 
to construct new ontology content based on what was parsed as well.    (01)

Our lexicon (the language layer connecting text to ontology) is integrated into 
our very own formal ontology, named linkbase (700.000 core concepts).    (02)

It's not an AI miracle, it's a formal ontology miracle.    (03)

What exactly do you mean by 'using against' here? 
If you want a tool that can input unstructured 
text input and output a formal structured 
ontology representing the same information, then 
no such tool exists or will exist in the 
forseeable future. That is asking for an AI 
miracle. If anyone offers you one, ask for the 
Brooklyn Bridge instead.    (07)
