Abstract
When building natural language generation applications it is desireable to have the possibility of assembling modules that use different techniques for each one of the specific generation tasks. This paper presents an agent-based module for referring expression generation and aggregation, implemented within the framework of a generic architecture for implementing multi-agent systems: Open Agent Architecture.
