ABSTRACT
We demonstrate an open-source natural language generation engine that produces descriptions of entities and classes in English and Greek from OWL ontologies that have been annotated with linguistic and user modeling information expressed in RDF. We also demonstrate an accompanying plug-in for the Protégé ontology editor, which can be used to create the ontology's annotations and generate previews of the resulting texts by invoking the generation engine. The engine has been embedded in robots acting as museum tour guides in the physical world and in Second Life; here we demonstrate the latter application.

Weaving the biomedical Semantic Web with the Protégé OWL plugin
KRMED'14: Proceedings of the First International Conference on Formal Biomedical Knowledge Representation - Volume 102In this document we show how biomedical resources can be linked into a Semantic Web using Protégé. Protégé is a widely-used open-source ontology modeling environment with support for the Web Ontology Language (OWL). With the example domain of brain ...
The protégé OWL plugin: an open development environment for semantic web applications
LNCS-ISWC'04: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Semantic Web ConferenceWe introduce the OWL Plugin, a Semantic Web extension of the Protégé ontology development platform. The OWL Plugin can be used to edit ontologies in the Web Ontology Language (OWL), to access description logic reasoners, and to acquire instances for ...
Combining OWL ontologies using E-Connections
The standardization of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) leaves (at least) two crucial issues for Web-based ontologies unsatisfactorily resolved, namely how to represent and reason with multiple distinct, but linked ontologies, and how to enable effective ...
