The research article doesn’t mention UNL a single time, despite it being a really similar effort (encoding texts in an abstract representation, which is generated and use by tools to translate automatically in various languages). The hard part of the project is not encoding facts into cute little RDF triples (that’s the super easy part, and as usual that’s where the SemWeb researchers put their focus on), it’s generating natural language from the abstract representation. This means precise linguistics information must be present in the abstract representation for generation of correct sentences. Spoiler: those seems absent, and the renders presented in the paper are very basic. The data part of the project seems OK, but I predict it would go well because the NLP is largely ignored.
