Was wondering, are there studies or works on "reading out"
rdf graphs?
I guess it might be of interest for automatically generated web pages, as
well as an important accessibility step.
Would that result be necessairly in very boring and unreadable text?
I looked around and found mention of an RDF2text but the page seems not
to be reachable.
An RDF query tool that assigns an English sentence to its results can
be regarded as a step towards mapping RDF to text.
Thus, the example
http://www.reengineeringllc.com/demo_agents/RDFQueryLangComparison1.agent
produces output tables with English headings that can be viewed as
shorthand for a list of English sentences.
For example, an answer to a question can be:
this-name is an author , with
email this-email , of this-title

So far, all of that is implemented -- you can run it using a

A next step might be to map the above table to something like:
