TL;DR
This paper introduces a controlled Latvian language for ontology authoring, aligning with existing English-based controlled languages, and discusses related efforts in Lithuanian, aiming to improve accessibility for Baltic language speakers.
Contribution
It presents the design of a Latvian controlled language for ontologies and compares it with Lithuanian, expanding the scope of controlled natural languages in ontology engineering.
Findings
Designed a Latvian controlled language aligned with Attempto Controlled English
Illustrated the language with examples for ontology authoring
Discussed parallels with Lithuanian controlled language development
Abstract
Controlled natural languages (mostly English-based) recently have emerged as seemingly informal supplementary means for OWL ontology authoring, if compared to the formal notations that are used by professional knowledge engineers. In this paper we present by examples controlled Latvian language that has been designed to be compliant with the state of the art Attempto Controlled English. We also discuss relation with controlled Lithuanian language that is being designed in parallel.
