The MONNET project aims to deal with issues of cross-lingual ontology localisation, visualisation and information extraction. The project consists of four main components:

• An Ontology-Lexicon model that allows for associating linguistic information with language-independent representations of domain semantics
• Mulitlingual Ontology Localisation services that allow for automatic localisation of an ontology to different languages
• Cross-lingual ontology-based Information Extraction techniques for the extraction of information from document across languages
• Multilingual Knowledge Access and Visualisation techniques based on structured information presentation in different languages.

The Monnet project is funded as a STREP by the European Commission under Call 4 of Frame Program 7 (Objective ICT-2009.2.2. "Language-based Interaction").
