Integration of the controlled language ACE to the amine platform

Abstract

This paper presents the integration of the controlled language ACE (Attempto Controlled English) to Amine platform. Since the parser engine of ACE (ACE Parser Engine or APE) generates a DRS structure (Discourse Representation Structure), we have developed a mapping from DRS to CG (DRS2CG) which produces a CG equivalent to the DRS produced by APE. Through this mapping and this integration of ACE into Amine, Amine users can use controlled language to express their knowledge or specifications, instead of having to express them in CG directly. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
