SKATeR: Scenario Knowledge Acquisition by Textual Reading

The aim of SKATeR consists in advancing the state-of-the-art in the integration of textual processing, semantic interpretation, inference and reasoning, detection and generalization of events, scenario induction and its exploitation in a number of advanced content-based domain applications. Given the current state-of-the-art in those areas, we also plan to develop intuitive collaborative interfaces which will
allow communities of users to improve the knowledge for different domains, including multilingual communities involving English, Spanish, Catalan, Basque, and Galician.
