NLmaps

I created the NLmaps corpus which is a corpus for question-answering, consisting of 2,380 questions in English and German with corresponding Machine Readable Language (MRL) formulae, using the OpenStreetMap database. For more information and download, see the NLmaps page.

The main purpose for the creation of this corpus is to build a semantic parser and to provide an interface to OSM that lets a user ask a question in natural language, which is then parsed into a database query that is executable against a webbased filtering tool and returns OSM data on an interactive map.
