FRED


Machine Reading for the Semantic Web


About

FRED is a machine reader for the Semantic Web: it is able to parse natural language text in 48 different languages and transform it to linked data. It is implemented in Python and available as REST service and as a Python library suite [fredlib]. FRED background theories are: Combinatory Categorial Grammar [C&C], Discourse Representation Theory [DRT, Boxer], Frame Semantics [Fillmore 1976] and Ontology Design Patterns [Ontology Handbook]. FRED leverages Natural Language Processing components for performing Named Entity Resolution [Stanbol, TagMe], Coreference Resolution [CoreNLP], and Word Sense Disambiguation [Boxer, IMS]. All FRED graphs include textual annotations and represent textual segmentation, expressed by means of EARMARK and NIF.
