Interface natural language

Interact with the user through a natural language interface. 

As ontologies move toward the richness of natural language, we can envision systems that interface with these knowledge bases in a language that is very close to natural language but perhaps a bit less natural and more stylized.

G2 allows the representation of deep knowledge, analytic and heuristic knowledge, and other aspects required for the implementation of real-time expert systems. Graphics and structured natural language interfaces allow the user to construct knowledge bases of dynamic applications, to test expert system behavior and to validate knowledge bases under various dynamic scenarios. The interactive developer interface allows short development-...

There are many applications for interface specifications. Formalized timing diagrams can serve as an index to interface documentation and used to generate hardcopy specifications in a natural language. Simulation and test vectors can be generated automatically from timing diagram specifications and used to validate... 

The familiar two-dimensional chemical structure diagram could be considered to be the natural language of the chemist, and in everyday communication chemists almost invariably resort to it as their preferred form of structure representation, whether printed in a learned journal or scribbled on the back of an envelope. Whilst these diagrams have found their way into computer-based information systems, their appearance is generally restricted to the user interface, and other types of representation are used internally.
