Here's 2:
Note, these use cases happen in a perfect (less exciting) world.
Seemless parsing experience based on semantic info put in place by someone
else:
Someone else previously specified that:
- UCAG are common tags for nucleic acids
- what amino acids result from what nucleic acids triplets
- what triplets are used to start and stop the encoding a protein
- what amino acid sequences make up each protein
Another person has a long sequence of nucleic acid values and wants to know
what proteins it would produce. She specifies that she is inputting a
nucleic acid sequence and that she wants proteins outputted. The parser
uses the combination of tag info and the info about how to get proteins from
nucleic acid sequences to seemlessly provide the scientist with the proteins
she desires.
Gaining semantic info from a grammar that can be used in non parser task:
A person writes a grammar for encoding family tree info using ebnf. This
grammar includes the following lines:
Person = [Spouse], Mother, Father, {Child};
Spouse = "Spouse: ", Name;
He just enters the ebnf into the wiki because someone else already specified
how to parse ebnf. From this text the wiki stores the fact that with this
grammar "Spouse:" specifies that the name of a spouse is coming. Also, the
parser stores that a person has 0 or 1 spouses, exactly one mother and
father and any number of children (All valuable ontology info that can be
used elsewhere). After inputting the grammar the person thinks to him self:
"parser info seems a lot like ontology info plus tag info". Elsewhere ...
Droid asks the wiki how many mothers a person has and it answers exactly 2.
I'm fine making an extension for this.
