Scientific metadata are often incomplete and noncompliant with community standards, limiting dataset findability, interoperability, and reuse. When reporting guidelines exist, they typically lack machine-actionable representations.…

We present an approach to generating natural language justifications of decisions derived from norm-based reasoning. Assuming an agent which maximally satisfies a set of rules specified in an object-oriented temporal logic, the user can ask…
