Abstract
The research presented in this chapter is part of a project which aims at the development of a novel method for information extraction and knowledge acquisition from texts combined with question answering. The present state of the art in information extraction [1, 2] is based on the template approach. The template approach relies on a predefined user model which guides the extraction of information and the instantiation of a template as the result of the extraction process.
