This workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL) has a broad scope and
embraces all approaches that are based on natural language and apply
restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and/or semantics. This includes
(but is certainly not limited to) approaches that have been called
simplified language, plain language, formalized language, processable
language, fragments of language, phraseologies, conceptual authoring,
language generation, and guided natural language interfaces.
Some CNLs are designed to improve communication among humans, especially
for non-native speakers of the respective natural language. In other
cases, the restrictions on the language are supposed to make it easier
for computers to analyze such texts in order to improve computer-aided,
semi-automatic, or automatic translations into other languages. A third
group of CNL has the goal to enable reliable automated reasoning and
formal knowledge representation from seemingly natural texts. All these
types of CNL are covered by this workshop.
