The design of the search engine is based on a new crosslingual framework. The framework integrates a crosslingual retrieval strategy with a strategy using natural language techniques: information extraction and multilingual generation. The combination of information extraction and multilingual generation enables the multilingual presentation of the database content and free text crosslingual information retrieval of the structured data entries. We will demonstrate that the new framework is useful for domain specific and multilingual applications.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Xu:2000:MFU.pdf} } @InProceedings{Xu_et_al:2000_1, AUTHOR = {Xu, Feiyu and Netter, Klaus and Stenzhorn, Holger}, TITLE = {A System for Uniform and Multilingual Access to Structured Database and Web Information in a Tourism Domain}, YEAR = {2000}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the 38th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

MIETTA facilitates multilingual information access in a number of languages (English, Finnish, French, German, Italian) to the tourist information (web documents and database information) provided by three different geographical regions: the German federal state of Saarland, the Finnish region around Turku and the Italian City of Rome. The challenge of the approach is to merge the technologies of crosslingual information retrieval (Jamie Carbonell et al, 1997) and natural language processing to achieve the following goals: · Provide full access to all information independent of the language the information was originally encoded in and independent of the query language; · Provide transparent natural language access to structured database information; · Provide hybrid and flexible query options to enable users to obtain maximally precise information.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Xu:2000:SUM.pdf} } @MastersThesis{Stenzhorn:2002, AUTHOR = {Stenzhorn, Holger}, TITLE = {XtraGen.
