Re: New releases - FRED and Tipalo: from natural language to RDF/OWL

That's a good idea, we'll surely check this out.

We process Boxer output and apply a set of heuristics and semantic transformations in order to obtain RDF designed for the Semantic Web. In this process, we emphasize the relation to linguistic frames, supporting FrameNet and VerbNet vocabularies, and to ontology design patterns.

FRED results are available as n-triples or graphs. A paper on FRED will be presented at next EKAW2012 [5].

Given a Wikipedia page URI, the tool returns a RDF graph composed of rdf:type, rdfs:subClassOf, owl:sameAs, and owl:equivalentTo statements providing typing information (organized into class taxonomies) about the entity referred by the Wikipedia page. Currently, entity types are derived from the text, and aligned to the DBpedia Ontology [6], WordNet 3.0 in RDF [7], DUL [8], and DolceZero [9]. The tool relies on FRED (including NER and WSD), hence it has unlimited domain coverage (i.e., it is independent from the completeness of specific ontologies). Results are available as RDF, HTML (with LODE [10]), and graphs. A paper describing Tipalo is currently under review.
