Abstract
We describe ongoing work on a bidirectional mapping between Attempto Controlled English (ACE) and OWL DL. ACE is a well-studied controlled natural language, with a parser that converts ACE texts into Discourse Representation Structures (DRS). We show how ACE can be translated into OWL DL (by using the DRS as interlingua) and how OWL DL can be verbalized in ACE. This mapping renders ACE an interesting companion to existing OWL front-ends.
