MECKA: Methodologies for Constructing Knowledge Bases for
Natural Language Processing Systems
MECKA began on October 1st 1992 and terminated on September
1994. In the project participated HCRC LTG, Great Britain, SRI
International, Californien
and CST, Denmark (project manager).
The primary objective of the project was to
investigate systematically the
task of knowledge engineering for natural language
processing, focusing on the inquiry about which information
is necessary, how it can be selected and what is the
relation and interdependency between linguistic and extralinguistic
knowledge more than on the study of knowledge
representation formalisms.
The methodology should be generally
applicable, i.e. it should not be
idiosyncratic to particular systems and/or
applications and should, to the
extent it is possible, make (re-)use of
existing resources. At the
beginning of the project, we decided to
concentrate on methodologies for
constructing knowledge bases for natural
language understanding systems
because they require the most deep and
complex types of knowledge. With small
modifications the proposed methodologies
can be applied for
constructing knowledge bases for other natural
language processing systems such as
information retrieval and machine
translation systems.
