It is generally acknowledged that many experts and almost all laypersons have difficulty in formulating requests for information in such a manner that conventional off-line information extraction systems can find optimal answers. Therefore, it is increasingly evident that there is a need for an interactive dialog between information seekers and information extraction systems.
