A SHOM Knowledge Base (KB) The SHOM aim • Building a KB dealing with both nautical charts and nautical instructions. Constraint 1 • The information contained in the KB has to be easily updatable by people not necessarily proficient in ontology formalism. Solution proposal • A CNL dedicated to the update and population of the SHOM KB. Constraint 2 • The Instructions nautiques have to be generated out of the KB. Solution proposal • Generation of texts in INAUT out of the KB and of LitINAUT (=Literary INAUT) via aggregation and referring expressions generation operations.
