Resumen
[EN] In today’s globalised world where there is a growing need for international communication, non-native
speakers (NNS) from a wide range of professional fields are increasingly called upon to write specialised
texts in English. More often than not, however, the linguistic competence required to do so is well beyond
that of the majority of NNS. While software applications can serve to assist NNS in their English writing
tasks, most of the applications available are designed for users of English for general purposes as opposed
to English for professional purposes. Therefore, these applications lack the specific vocabulary, style
guidelines and common structures required in more specialised documents. Necessary modifications to meet
the needs of English for professional purposes tend to be viewed as representing an overly complex and
expensive task. To overcome these challenges, we present a software called O-WEAA (Ontology-Writing
English Assistant Architecture) which makes use of an ontology that represents the knowledge which,
according to our formalisation, is required to write most types of specialised professional documents in the
English language. Our formalisation of the required knowledge is based on an exhaustive linguistic analysis
of several written genres. The proposed software is composed of two parts: i) a web application named
Acquisition Interface Module, which allows experts to populate the ontology with new data and ii) a userfriendly, general web interface named Writing Assistant Interface Module which guides the user throughout
the writing process of the English document in the specific domain described in the ontology.
