Grammatical Framework - Uses of GF

Uses of GF

GF was first created in 1998 at Xerox Research Centre Europe, Grenoble, in the project Multilingual Document Authoring. At Xerox, it was used for prototypes including a restaurant phrase book, a database query system, a formalization of an alarm system instructions with translations to 5 languages, and an authoring system for medical drug descriptions.

Later projects using GF and involving third parties include:

• MOLTO: multilingual online translation
• SALDO: Swedish morphological dictionary based on rules developed for GF and Functional Morphology
• WebAlt: multilingual generation of mathematical exercises (commercial project)
• TALK: multilingual and multimodal spoken dialogue systems

Academically, GF has been used in four PhD theses and resulted in around fifty scientific publications (see GF publication list).
