A Meaning Representation Language for Co-operative Dialogue
GJ Doe, GA Ringland, Michael Wilson · 1992
A meaning representation language is described which includes a typed firstorder logic with relativised quantification, using an ontology with reified events and actions. This has been developed to support the requirements of multimodal co-operative dialogue, including ambiguity, temporal and aspectual reference in natural language, reference to graphical and dialogue objects of varying complexity, explanation, and the differing approaches needed to interpret assertions, questions and commands.
