Discourse Generation from Formal Specifications Using the Grammatical Framework, GF

• Semantic web ontologies contain structured information that do not have discourse structure embedded in them. Hence, it becomes increasingly hard to devise multilingual texts that humans comprehend. In this paper we show how to generate coherent multilingual texts from formal representations using discourse strategies. We demonstrate how discourse structures are mapped to GF’s abstract grammar specifications from which multilingual descriptions of work of art objects are generated automatically.
