This rhetorical structure information may be inferred from linguistic cues identified, which represent the textual information of the data. The text base in question consists of abstracts of linguistics journal articles drawn from a collection of over three hundred papers on the topic of Chinese Linguistics. Included in my text base are abstracts from linguistics journals in both Chinese and English.
Information retrieval is web-based.
Besides offering a search and retrieval capability, a web interface is also being developed for authors or publishers to submit their abstracts to the text base. RDF makes it possible to declare a knowledge base, which may be further extended through inferencing. In many ways, RDF brings together the advantages of an object database and the programming power of a logic programming language like Prolog. Using RDF, linguistic data may be encoded in a machine-readable format from which inferences can be drawn by machine about the structure and meaning of texts. The information about the abstracts consists of both bibliographical and textual information.
