Bibliographies

John Bateman and Michael Zock's list of NLG systems and associated references has now moved to the NLG Systems Wiki.
John Bateman's Bibliography site [1] contains a superset of the references used in the above list of NLG systems, including references for all aspects of NLG. Particular sub-bibliographies can be generated on demand. There are over 3000 entries concerning NLG and updates are welcome. The bibliography is maintained in BibTeX and is linked to/maintained at the Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies with its extensive cross-linking and search facilities.
