OWLSIZ: An isiZulu CNL for structured knowledge validation
Languages such as English have controlled natural languages than can be repurposed to generate natural language questions from an ontology in order to allow a domain expert to independently validate the contents of an ontology without understanding a ontology authoring language such as OWL.
Contextualising Levels of Language Resourcedness affecting Digital Processing of Text
Through a clear understanding of language resources situated in a society, a matrix is developed that characterizes languages as Very LRL, LRL, RL, HRL and Very HRL.
CoSMo: A constructor specification language for Abstract Wikipedia's content selection process
Representing snippets of information abstractly is a task that needs to be performed for various purposes, such as database view specification and the first stage in the natural language generation pipeline for generative AI from structured input, i. e., the content selection stage to determine what needs to be verbalised.
Bootstrapping NLP tools across low-resourced African languages: an overview and prospects
Computing and Internet access are substantially growing markets in Southern Africa, which brings with it increasing demands for local content and tools in indigenous African languages.
A Review of Multilingualism in and for Ontologies
One of the design goals for OWL was internationalisation, with the aim that an ontology is usable across languages and cultures.
An evaluation of template and ML-based generation of user-readable text from a knowledge graph
Typical user-friendly renderings of knowledge graphs are visualisations and natural language text.
Bias in ontologies -- a preliminary assessment
Logical theories in the form of ontologies and similar artefacts in computing and IT are used for structuring, annotating, and querying data, among others, and therewith influence data analytics regarding what is fed into the algorithms.
Why a computer program is a functional whole
Sharing, downloading, and reusing software is common-place, some of which is carried out legally with open source software.
Toward equipping Artificial Moral Agents with multiple ethical theories
This is problematic because it narrows down the AMA's functional ability and versatility which in turn causes moral outcomes that a limited number of people agree with (thereby undermining an AMA's ability to be moral in a human sense).
CLaRO: a Data-driven CNL for Specifying Competency Questions
For its design, we exploited a new dataset of 234 CQs that had been processed automatically into 106 patterns, which we analysed and used to design a template-based CNL, with an additional CNL model and XML serialisation.
The African Wildlife Ontology tutorial ontologies: requirements, design, and content
The African Wildlife Ontology is mature and has been used yearly in an ontology engineering course or tutorial since 2010 and is included in a recent ontology engineering textbook with relevant examples and exercises.
More Effective Ontology Authoring with Test-Driven Development
Test-Driven Development (TDD) for ontology authoring is a recent {\em test-first} approach that aims to reduce authoring time and increase authoring efficiency.
Competency Questions and SPARQL-OWL Queries Dataset and Analysis
Competency Questions (CQs) are natural language questions outlining and constraining the scope of knowledge represented by an ontology.
Evidence-based lean logic profiles for conceptual data modelling languages
We generalise and extend the DSL design process to apply to logic language design more generally and, in particular, by incorporating an ontological analysis of language features in the process.
Pluralizing Nouns across Agglutinating Bantu Languages
Text generation may require the pluralization of nouns, such as in context-sensitive user interfaces and in natural language generation more broadly.
Toward an NLG System for Bantu languages: first steps with Runyankore (demo)
There are many domain-specific and language-specific NLG systems, of which it may be possible to adapt to related domains and languages.
Evaluation of a Runyankore grammar engine for healthcare messages
Natural Language Generation (NLG) can be used to generate personalized health information, which is especially useful when provided in one{'}s own language.
Grammar rules for the isiZulu complex verb
The isiZulu verb is known for its morphological complexity, which is a subject for on-going linguistics research, as well as for prospects of computational use, such as controlled natural language interfaces, machine translation, and spellcheckers.
An assessment of orthographic similarity measures for several African languages
The results also provide insight into usability of typical measures such as lexical diversity and genre, and that the same statistic may mean different things in different documents.
Test-Driven Development of ontologies (extended version)
This is implemented as a Protege plugin so that one can perform a TDD test as a black box test.
KF metamodel formalization
The KF metamodel is a comprehensive unifying metamodel covering the static structural entities and constraints of UML Class Diagrams (v2. 4. 1), ER, EER, ORM, and ORM2, and intended to boost interoperability of common conceptual data modelling languages.
Toward verbalizing ontologies in isiZulu
IsiZulu is one of the eleven official languages of South Africa and roughly half the population can speak it.
