Hi I read through all these emails about controlled natural languages and would like to make a remark about something that is missing in the discussion: When you design a controlled natural language, then you have to think about the user inferface first. You have to provide a user interface which guides the writing process. I am convinced that this is possible, you can use text- and menu-based lookahead techniques which constrain the input of the user. By the way, these kinds of techniques have successfully been used in editors for programming languages. I suggest to write a definite clause grammar that bi-directionally translates a DL-equivalent controlled natural language into OWL Abstract Syntax (and vice versa) and use these lookahead techniques. Cheers, Rolf Schwitter
