Abstract

Following the special editions 22(2) and 23(1) on Foundations of ontologies in text-technology, this is the third volume of the LDV-Forum to originate from activities of the research unit 437 Text-technological modelling of information, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) in its second phase 2005-2009. One of the research goals shared by four out of five subprojects within the group was the automated analysis of different types of discourse relations and the construction and evaluation of domain ontologies and lexicalsemantic wordnets as knowledge sources in this task. The subproject HyTex- Text-Grammatical Foundations for the (Semi)-Automated Text-to-Hypertext Conversion (Principal Investigator: Angelika Storrer) was concerned with the identification of thematic development structures in specialised texts for the purpose of hypertextualisation. The goal of the subproject Indogram- Induction of document grammars for the Representation of Logical Hypertextual Document Structures (Principal Investigator: Alexander Mehler) was to research methods of learning document and content structures from very large corpora of hypertext (web) documents. Finally, the subproject SemDok- Generic Document Structures in Linearly Organised Texts (Principal Investigator:
