Research activities

Research Topics
My current research works are concentrated on the description, discovery, and composition of Linguistic Web Services.

PhD Topics
My PhD research focuses on providing a framework which promotes the description, discovery, and composition of Linguistic Web Services. This framework considers the non-functional properites of the linguistic domain and their relationships.

Master's thesis
We have proposed an approach based on both Web service technology and reverse engineering promoting the reuse of NLP (stands for Natural Language Processing) systems.

Tools & Results

  • LIRE (LIngware REuse) Environment: It supports an approach which promotes the reuse of NLP (stands for Natural Language Processing) systems. It promotes three tasks:
      - Service Layer Construction
      - Input/Output Standardization
      - Composition of Linguistic Services
  • OWL-LingS Editor: It supports an extension of the OWL-S Approach to integrate non-functional linguistic properties. It generates descriptions of Linguistic Web Services according to the OWL-LingS (stands for OWL for Linguistic Services) language.
  • OWL-LingS-MX : A matchmaker for discovering Linguistic Web Services. It considers the non-functional linguistic properties during the matching process.
