I like ATTEMPTO, but we are talking about two different pipelines here: ACE is a controlled natural language, from which you can produce DRS and RDF, while FRED takes any natural language sentence, and outputs RDF passing through DRS produced by Boxer.
The two situations are deeply different: of course, the more controlled a NL sentence is, the more predictable are the parses and the design of RDF or OWL from them. However, accuracy obtained from controlled natural languages requires people to contain themselves when writing, and existing documentation cannot be reused. Wild sentences such as those from tweets are often too cumbersome to be digested by deep parsing, but average NL from e.g. news, reports, scientific papers can be parsed with good results. --Aldo On 12 Jul 2012, at 17:41, Jean-Marc Vanel wrote: > I took some notes while trying FRED : > http://deductions-software.blogspot.fr/2012/07/trying-fred-tool-for-producing-rdfowl.html > > FRED is a nice tool, but ATTEMPTO [1] is still more accurate when it > comes to real logic based sentences. > > [1] ATTEMPTO http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/site/description/ > > 2012/7/12 valentina presutti <[email protected]>: >> Dear all, >> >> We are pleased to announce the release of two new tools: FRED and Tipalo. >> Online demonstrators are available from the STLab tools page [0] that >> collects our software releases.
