ontology modelling of an engineering document – perspectives of linguistics analysis
DESCRIPTION
TechInvestLab.ru is starting a research program into an automation of formal modelling. The first project is developed together with ABBYY - the leading linguistic company. The project studies possibilities to build a Gellish-like formal model of a natural language technical document, for further transformation into an ISO 15926 compliant data model with TabLan.15926 engine. This presentation shows preliminary comparisons between syntactic and semantic structures parsed by ABBYY Compreno and manually prepared formal text models.TRANSCRIPT

Ontology Modelling of an Engineering Document –
Perspectives of Linguistics Analysis
2
First Step: Requirements Modelling
ROSENERGOATOM project, July 2011– Manual processing methodology for Technical
Requirements document– Special software for ISO 15926 data model
transformation– Sample Nuclear Power Plant requirements
processing:• Sample size: 12 paragraphs of text• Content identified: 16 requirements, 3 classifiers• Resulting model: 96 items, 35 relationships

Technical Document Semantic Modelling
TabLan methodology, March 2012– Manual processing methodology for technical
documents (English)– Using subset of Gellish http://
sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gellish/
– Mapping to the enhanced Initial Template Set– .15926 Editor for ISO 15926 data model
transformation

Document Modelling Lessons• Technical document modelling promise:
– Requirements verification
– Project IT systems customisation (classifiers for CAD/CAM/PLM/ERP/etc.)
– Data integration support (reference data library content generation)
– Tracing design decisions to requirements– Design decisions verification
• Formal modelling problems:– Labour-intensive process of manual modelling– Large volume of «dumb» preparatory work– Need for a professional engineering verification in a new
formalism unknown to engineers– Fragmented architecture of project IT environment — an
obstacle for model reuse
5
Preconditions for Automation of Technical Document Modelling
• Restricted and relatively formal engineering subset of natural language
• Contemporary developments in computer based natural language processing
• Contemporary developments in ontology extraction from natural language texts
• Controlled language for engineering (Gellish)• Gellish to ISO 15926 mapping development
Experimenting withABBYY Compreno

into Computer Language http://www.abbyy.ru/science/techno

ABBYY ComprenoABBYY Compreno is ABBYY’s innovative technology that performs full semantic and syntactic analysis for
comprehensive handling of natural language texts. ABBYY Compreno is the first ever practical implementation of fundamental linguistic research carried out internationally over the past fifty years. A result of seventeen years of intensive R&D, ABBYY Compreno offers robust solutions to many long-standing language processing problems of the information age, such as:
• Intelligent search and retrieval– Intelligent semantic search
– Multilingual search
– Semantic tagging of documents for more powerful searching
• Comprehensive text analysis– Information monitoring
– Controlling access to cofidential information
– Summarizing and annotating documents
– Sentiment analysis
• Efficient handling of text documents– Document classification and filtering
– Text comparison
• High quality machine translation

Research Plan
• Starting point – comparison between:• syntactic and semantic structure (parsed by ABBYY
Compreno)
• formal text model (manually prepared)
• Rule development for mapping between linguistic and engineering ontologies (current)
• Customisation with domain thesauri (plans)• Testing on a corpus of engineering texts (plans)
