A formal machine reader is a tool able to transform natural language text into formal structured knowledge so as the latter can be interpreted by machines, according to a shared semantics. FRED is a formal machine reader for the semantic web: its output is a RDF/OWL graph, whose design is based on frame semantics. FRED's graph are domain- and task-independent, making the tool suitable to be used as a semantic middleware for domain- or task-specific applications. To serve this purpose, it is available both as REST service and as Python library. This paper provides details about FRED's capabilities, design issues, implementation and evaluation.

Abstract
A formal machine reader is a tool able to transform natural language text into formal structured knowledge so as the latter can be interpreted by machines, according to a shared semantics. FRED is a formal machine reader for the semantic web: its output is a RDF/OWL graph, whose design is based on frame semantics. FRED's graph are domain- and task-independent, making the tool suitable to be used as a semantic middleware for domain- or task-specific applications. To serve this purpose, it is available both as REST service and as Python library. This paper provides details about FRED's capabilities, design issues, implementation and evaluation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
