Product taxonomy and web directory as support for ontology engineers
Jan Nemrava · 2005
This paper presents our attempt to build a text mining tool for collecting specific words – verbs in our case – that usually occur together with particular product category. These verbs could be used as a support for ontology designers in creating relations between entities and concepts. As the ontologies are headstone for the success of the semantic web, our effort is focused on building small and specialized ontologies concerning one product category and describing its frequent relations in common text. We describe the way we use web directories to obtain suitable information about the products from UNSPSC taxonomy and we propose the method how the extracted information could be further processed.
