Summary on Grant Application Form |

To build a collaborative requirements capture tool which can assist in the design of a complex electronic device, from the initial sales contact through the financial and engineering planning to the stage of a worked-out proposal. This tool is to allow users of different types to contribute their own expertise to the emerging design and to extract from it the information that is useful to them.The University of Edinburgh is mainly involved in implementing a Natural Language Generation system to produce tailored summaries and documents.Progress:At the end of the first year of the project there is an intzerim prototype that demonstrates the idea and will be used for indicative user trials. This prototype has been informed by workplace studies and makes use of a common data model that is shared by all the system components. The prototype includes the ability to generate five types of summary from the design information. Building on our experience with this, work at Edinburgh will proceed to consider the introducticr of more complex NLG techniques, to develop and support a document type specification language and to investigate issues of aggregation and formatting in the context of the NLG systzem.
