ELEON
In the next figure, the usage of the ontology Authoring tool for natural language applications is depicted. The author with the aid of ELEON will define the domain ontology, and he will enrich it with lingustic resources, such as clause plans or microplans as well as a lexicon. In addition user models can be defined, which allow a further personalisation (for instance children, might prefer shorter sentences than adults). Finally, the above pieces of information which constitute ontology are exported in OWL (ontology) and RDF (lingustic resources and user models) formats. The resources will be used by a natural language generation engine to produce text. In particular, the next figure is influenced by an enchiched ontology for museum's exhibits, hence the label: "Selection of exhibit".
ELEON was designed and developed in the Software and Knowledge Engineering Laboratory (SKEL) of the NCSR "Demokritos". It was largely developed by Dimitris Bilidas.
Projects
Eleon has been used in the following national and European Projects: M-Piro, Xenios and Indigo
