| Abstract | Although the Semantic web is steadily gaining in popularity, it remains amystery to a large percentage of Internet users. This can be attributed to thecomplexity of the technologies that form its core. Creating intuitiveinterfaces which completely abstract the technologies underneath, is one way tosolve this problem. A contrasting approach is to ease the user intounderstanding the technologies. We propose a solution which anchors on usingcontrolled languages as interfaces to semantic web applications. This paperdescribes one such approach for the domain of meeting minutes, status reportsand other project specific documents. A controlled language is developed alongwith an ontology to handle semi-automatic knowledge extraction. Thecontributions of this paper include an ontology designed for the domain ofmeeting minutes and status reports, and a controlled language grammar tailoredfor the above domain to perform the semi-automatic knowledge acquisition andgenerate RDF triples. This paper also describes two grammar prototypes, whichwere developed and evaluated prior to the development of the final grammar, aswell as the Link grammar, which was the grammar formalism of choice. |
