M-ATOLL

M-ATOLL is developed by the Semantic Computing Group at CITEC, Bielefeld University. It is a framework for the automatic lexicalization of ontologies in multiple languages. The results of M-ATOLL are published at DBlexipedia

Presently DBlexipedia provides English, German and Spanish lexicalizations for over 600 properties of the DBpedia ontology.

Repository

This repository contains two separated projects/folders.

  1. matoll, which contains the actual M-ATOLL project
  2. SentencePreprocessing, which is used to create the necessary input for MATOLL.

Examples for the input to both projects can be found on the projects README. Both projects are maven-based projects. Additionally to the main M-ATOLL approach, the MATOLL-API itself can be used without invoking the whole automatic approach.

The folder lexica contains example lexica to test different functions of M-ATOLL.

Finally the folder public contain results for our paper Automatic acquisition of adjective lexicalizations of restriction classes.

For further questions, or if you are interested in extending M-ATOLL to more languages, please contact the main developer Sebastian Walter.

lemon.api

In order to run matoll you need to have installed the jar of our lemon.api with

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-jar> -DpomFile=<path-to-pom>
