Re: [ontolog-forum] Controlled Natural Languages

John

Thanks for valuable links and an important topic. I have been wondering if there is a visual, text, sound, namely sensory and cognitive(ness) criteria, model or some measure that is also developing? It would be then able to help put our undeerstanding levels in appropriate context as language alone does not necessarily convey the model of our understanding but helps it tremendously and yet for many concepts we have picture based or model based understanding. This may also help the thread that addressed early childhood memories relating to how we developed languages and also meaning through signs etc.
Best regards.
Thanks.

I have often mentioned the use of controlled NLs for representing
the axioms and definitions of ontologies.  In June, there will be
a workshop on CNLs, and the pre-proceedings have already been
posted on the web:

http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/Vol-448/

This is a good collection of short papers (extended abstracts of 4 or
5 pages) that survey the range of research and applications of CNLs.
I suggest that readers of ontolog forum browse through the list to
see papers they might find interesting.

By the way, the practice of posting conference proceedings on the WWW
is accelerating.  The CNL proceedings are in Vol. 448 on that web site.
Vol. 1 was posted in 1995, Vol. 2 in 1996, and Vol. 8 in 1997.  But now
there are several new proceedings posted every week -- all free for
download.  For the complete list, see

http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/

It's much more convenient to click on the papers you want to read
than to lug a few kilograms of dead trees from each conference.
