  The paper presents a FrameNet-based information extraction and knowledge
representation framework, called FrameNet-CNL. The framework is used on natural
language documents and represents the extracted knowledge in a tailor-made
Frame-ontology from which unambiguous FrameNet-CNL paraphrase text can be
generated automatically in multiple languages. This approach brings together
the fields of information extraction and CNL, because a source text can be
considered belonging to FrameNet-CNL, if information extraction parser produces
the correct knowledge representation as a result. We describe a
state-of-the-art information extraction parser used by a national news agency
and speculate that FrameNet-CNL eventually could shape the natural language
subset used for writing the newswire articles.
