Knowledge Resources or Decisions?

Abstract

In this paper we argue that the problem of decisions can only be discussed when the resources which contribute to the process of text generation are identified. We claim that declarative and procedural knowledge-while resources correspond to the former decisions to the latter - have to be clearly separated. After evaluating various text planning systems from this angle we outline what the consequences for the design of a text generation system are. Natural language generation, Text planning system, Resources, Decisions.
