Abstract

Natural Language Generation (NLG) from knowledge bases (KBs) has repeatedly been subject of research. However, most proposals tend to have in common that they start from KBs of limited size that either already contain linguistically-oriented knowledge structures or to whose structures different ways of realization are explicitly assigned. To avoid these limitations, we propose a three layer OWL-based ontology framework in which domain, domain communication and linguistic knowledge structures are clearly separated and show how a large scale instantiation of this framework in the environmental domain serves multilingual NLG.
