An interactive ontology learning workbench for non-experts
Jon Atle Gulla, Vijayan Sugumaran · 2008
Ontologies are an integral part of Knowledge and Information Management systems and there is increased interest in using ontologies for organizational memory. Ontology learning workbenches are used for semi-automatic learning of ontologies from representative text collections. This paper presents a new interactive workbench that gives the users more freedom in their ontology engineering process and frees them from knowing any ontology language syntax. The workbench is implemented as part of a search project, in which ontologies are used to search for movie information on the web. New techniques are steadily being added to the workbench, though early testing has already confirmed the validity of the ontology learning approach.
