Q2. What are the future works in "Breaking the deadlock" ?
Despite the still experimental level of the current implementation, the authors are confident that the ideas described in this paper provide a powerful ( and extremely useful ) contribution to the future developments of the Semantic Web. The authors are certain that they will witness in the near future a deeper convergence of the Semantic Web and the Natural Language Processing communities, towards the common goal of easing the information access bottleneck to web resources.
Q3. What is the next step of processing?
The next step of processing involves addition of basic linguistic information: documents are tokenized, morphologically analyzed and tagged.
Q4. What is the result of this phase of analysis?
The result of this phase of analysis is a representations of the propositional content of the sentences, as minimal logical forms.
Q5. What is the purpose of the project?
In general terms the project is concerned with organisational knowledge management, specifically, by developing an ontology driven systematic approach to integrating the entire process of information gathering, processing and analysis.
Q6. What is the purpose of the annotation scheme?
The annotation scheme is intended to work as the projects’ lingua franca: all the modules will be required to accept as input and generate as output documents conformant to the (agreed) annotation scheme.
Q7. What is the main idea behind the semantic web movement?
As a very large proportion of existing web resources are represented by humanreadable documentation, the authors believe that a possible way to break the deadlock mentioned above is to start using available information extraction tools to enrich the documents with automatically generated annotations.
Q8. What is the main benefit of the NIST-supported competitive evaluations?
Some of the NIST-supported competitive evaluations (e.g. MUC) greatly benefited from the existence of scoring tools, which could automatically compare the results of each participant against a gold standard.
Q9. What is the way to find the lexical entities?
Simple string based match might suffice in some cases of named entities, however in more complex cases complex pronominal resolution algorithms are needed.
Q10. What is the current algorithm for approximate matching?
The current algorithm for approximate matching compares pairs of MLF predicates and returns 0 or 1 on the basis of whether the predicates unify or not.
Q11. What is the first step of the process?
The first step of processing is going to be a conversion from the source-specific document format to the agreed Parmenides format.
Q12. What was the motivation behind the semantic web movement?
One of the motivations behind the semantic web movement was that computers are not powerful enough to process (and understand) natural language.
Q13. What is the purpose of structural annotations?
Broadly speaking, structural annotations are concerned with the organization of documents into sub-units, such as section, title, paragraphs and sentences.
Q14. What is the process of locating the MLFs?
In an on-line phase, the MLF which results from the analysis of the user query is matched in the KB against the stored representations, locating those MLFs that best answer the query.
Q15. What is the advantage of using XML?
This is in fact one of the advantages of using XML: many readily available off-the-shelf tools can be used for parsing and filtering the XML annotations, according to the needs of each module.
Q16. What is the common problem with tokens?
On the one hand, it is likely that they contain tokens that do not correspond to any word in the parser’s lexicon, on the other, their syntactic structure is highly ambiguous (alternative internal structures, as well as possible undesired combinations with neighbouring tokens).
Q17. What is the conversion of the document?
This conversion is based on a set of source-specific wrappers [13], which transforms the original document into the XML structural annotations previously described.
