Kaarel Kaljurand, Norbert E. Fuchs · Zurich Open Repository and Archive (University of Zurich) · 2006
We describe ongoing work on the mapping between At- tempto Controlled English (ACE) and OWL DL. ACE is a well-studied controlled language, with a parser that converts ACE texts into Discourse Representation Structure (DRS). We describe a relatively direct mapping of a subset of the DRS language to OWL DL. This mapping renders ACE an interesting companion to existing OWL front-ends. and anaphoric references to noun phrases through proper names, definite noun phrases, pronouns, and variables. The intention behind ACE is to minimize the number of syn- tax and interpretation rules needed to predict the resulting DRS, or for the end-user, the reasoning results. The small number of ACE function words have a clear and predictable
