          RESOURCE ANNOUNCEMENT<br>
          RELEASE OF sar-graph 1.0<br>
          <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://">http://</a><a moz-do-not-send="true"
        href="http://sargraph.dfki.de">sargraph.dfki.de</a><br>
      =============================
      <div><br>
        The following resource will be released on META-SHARE and is
        already available as a pre-release at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
          href="http://sargraph.dfki.de">http://sargraph.dfki.de</a>.
        <div><br>
          A <b>sar-graph</b> is a graph containing linguistic knowledge
          at syntactic and lexical semantic levels for a given language
          and target relation. a sar-graph for a targeted relation
          assembles many linguistic patterns that are used in texts to
          mention this relation.  The term semantically associated
          relations graph was chosen since the patterns may either
          express the target relation directly or by expressing a
          semantically associated relation. The nodes in a sar-graph are
          either semantic arguments of a target relation or content
          words (to be more exact, their word senses) needed
          to express/recognize an instance of the target relation. The
          nodes are connected by two kinds of edges: syntactic
          dependency structure relations and lexical semantic relations.
          Thus they are labelled with dependency-structure tags provided
          by a parser or lexical-semantic relation tags. A definition
          can be found in (Uszkoreit and Xu, 2013). The individual
          patterns are assembled in one graph per target relation for an
          easier combination of mentions gathered across sentences, but
          all patterns could also be employed individually. <br>
          <br>
          <b>From Strings to Things  <br>
            SAR-Graphs: A New Type of Resource for Connecting Knowledge
            and Language</b><br>
          Hans Uszkoreit and Feiyu Xu (2013) <br>
          In Proceedings of 1st International Workshop on NLP and
          DBpedia (NLP&amp;DBPedia),  volume 1064, Sydney,
          NSW, Australia, CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 10/2013<br>
          <br>
          The current sar-graph version 1.0 contains syntactic
          dependency relations between content words. In future
          versions, we will integrate lexical semantic relations between
          word senses.  
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>In the current version, the patterns have been
            automatically learned by the web-scale version <b>Web-DARE</b> (Krause
            et al., 2012) of the relation extraction system <b>DARE  </b>(Xu
            et al., 2007) from dependency structures obtained by parsing
            sentential  mentions of the target relation. DARE patterns
            contain the content words that signal the
            mentioned (semantically associated) relation and by the
            syntactic dependencies that combine these words and link
            them with the phrases representing the arguments of
            the target relation. Thus, a sar-graph is composed of
            syntactic dependency graphs. Their edges denote dependency
            relations. Each edge is labeled with the tag the parser has
            assigned to the dependency. Vertices come in two flavors:
            One type of vertices denotes a regular node in a dependency
            structure, thus it is labeled with a word. Vertices of the
            second type represent the slots for the arguments of the
            target relation, instead of a word, they are labeled by the
            name of the argument, e.g. Person_1. Several dependency
            parsers have been employed, but the current set of
            sar-graphs is built from parsing results of the MALT parser.<br>
            <br>
            Applications of sar-graphs are information extraction,
            question answering and summarisation. </div>
          <div>The resource might also be useful for research on
            paraphrases, textual entailment and syntactic variation
            within a language.<br>
