    <pub:abstract><![CDATA[We describe our research on automatically generating rich semantic 
annotations of text and making it available on the Semantic Web.
In particular, we discuss the challenges 
involved in adapting the OntoSem natural
language processing system for this purpose. OntoSem, an implementation of
the theory of ontological semantics under continuous development for over 
15 years, uses a specially constructed NLP-oriented ontology and an 
ontological-semantic lexicon to translate English
text into a custom ontology-motivated knowledge representation language, the
language of text meaning representations (TMRs). OntoSem concentrates on
a variety of ambiguity resolution tasks as well as processing unexpected
input and reference. 
To adapt OntoSem results to the Semantic Web, we 
developed a translation system, OntoSem2OWL, between 
the TMR language into the
Semantic Web language OWL. 
We next used OntoSem and OntoSem2OWL to support SemNews, an experimental
web service that monitors RSS news sources, processes the summaries of 
the news stories  and publishes a structured
representation of the meaning of the text in the news story.]]></pub:abstract>
