Project descriptionThis project concerns the study of expressing spatial relations in natural language and the techniques of spatial knowledge representation and spatial data base querying. The special case of the problem we are particularly interested in is interaction with a knowledge system of a virtual robot in order to control its moves. Special attention was paid to the language competence being object of computer modeling. This research was based on a route description corpus collected through "Wizard of Oz" experiments.
