Abstract

A question-answer system is defined as a task through which an automated machine answers arbitrary questions formulated in natural language. The vast majority of existing systems presents problems of different natures, ranging from inability to answer questions that require definitions or explanations up to the fact that they are limited to a single domain, among others. This paper presents a template language capable of solving, in large part, these problems, automatically turning OWL ontologies into AIML databases.
