Roundtrip Ontology Authoring
Generates ontology from controlled language text and vice-versa to ease ontology authoring/editing process. The process is a combination of Controlled Language for Information Extraction (CLIE) and Text Generation which is developed on top of GATE.
Overview
Roundtrip Ontology Authoring is the key capability for the non-expert users wishing to author or amend the ontology by using simple easy to learn controlled natural language. The process is developed in GATE and uses the following sequential processing resources Document Reset PR, ANNIE English Tokeniser, ANNIE Sentence Splitter, ANNIE POS Tagger, GATE Morphological Analyser, JAPE Transducer for Quote Finder, CLIE Keyphrase Gazetteer, JAPE Transducer for Chunker, JAPE Transducer for CLIE and finally GATE Text Generator.
CLIE is a process that extracts the semantics from controlled language text by tokenizing, sentence splitting, POS tagging, morphologically analyzing, consulting the gazetteer list and then generating classes, subclasses, properties and instances (if any) to a temporary file. Text Generator generates the text after reading temporary ontology file and XML based configuration file. The output of Text Generator is into CLOnE language format and is organized into the following order; classes appear in the text first followed by subclasses, instances and finally properties appear in the last.

Examples
It provides one or more working examples that use the API specified in the service documentation. These examples should be used for both, check the correctness of the installed service and give to the user a usage example. a link to the java classes that implement such examples should be provided as well. If these examples requires a particular RDF repository, instruction on how to generate it should be provided. A link do JUnit tests (if any) will be useful as well.
