Abstract:
The aim of our research is to develop domain-restricted resources for web interaction supporting different languages: English, Hindi and Spanish. Many practical natural language systems use linguistic resources adapted to a specific domain because the processing is faster and more robust against errors. Besides, those grammars can be adapted to the language used by different types of users. To facilitate the process of generating linguistic resources for each domain and language, we use ontologies representing the entities and relations in a specific domain. The use of domain ontologies also favors the integration of knowledge from several web sites. For developing the grammar rules for each domain and language, we use Grammar Framework, a powerful tool for writing multilingual grammars that supports several alphabets. Our work is focused on the generation of assisting the user when accessing the web in two different scenarios: searching for information on cultural events and searching for a new medical specialist.
