Abstract

We describe the application of multilingual text generation in a system for assisting the process of publication. This system is an editor's workbench for preparation of the publication of an art history encyclopedia (the Macmillan Dictionary of Art), which is itself part of an integrated publication environment being developed at GMD-IPSI. We show how an editor's tasks can be facilitated by the use of NLP (natural language processing) systems and suggest the important role of text generation in future electronic publications as products. In both cases, we focus on text generation as providing an essential new mode of information presentation. Text generation provides a quality gain in which the flexibility of the electronic product is augmented; in particular, views on knowledge expressed as text, possibly in different languages are incorporated. The major prerequisite for making this possible is an explicit and systematic representation of genres or text types combined with a general interfacing method for specific domain knowledge.
