Abstract
This document contains draft information from a section of a preliminary version of a VERBMOBIL deliverable (TP 5.3-P1). It is distributed in this form to assist partners in advance planning. This document contains a simple version of the core DATR inference engine in Prolog in order to illustrate the principles of DATR inference to Prolog programmers. Note that in minor details it departs slightly from DATR conventions: - nonstandard nodenames are permitted; - the knowledge base must be pre-sorted to permit 'longest path first' inference; - queries include the theory name. Note also that this is not a directly usable implementation: there is no user interface, no DATR-Prolog interpreter, no DATR-specific trace or debugging, no attention paide to efficiency, etc. The aim is to provide a minimal 'core DATR standard inference' interpreter in logical style. 1 Illustration of a DATR theory: a 'microlexicon' MINILEX.DTR Tablecloth: !? == Compound !ilex? == lemma !relation? == (for covering) !modifier? == "Table:!?" !head? == "Cloth:!?".
