OntoSoar: Using Language to Find Genealogy Facts

OntoSoar is a system to extract information from genealogy texts and grow a conceptual model of the information. It is based on previous work embodied in systems called OntoES and LG-Soar. Here we describe the planned system, currently in early development, and give some preliminary and projected results.
