Towards a semantic web: ontology development based on the extraction of semantic concepts from digital documents
Rocío Abascal-Mena · Annual Conference on Computers · 2009
As an extension of the Web, in the highway of the construction of the Semantic Web we find the same problems such as the difficulty to share and reuse knowledge. The aim of this article is to present the development of an ontology in the context of a digital library, based on the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools. Our approach is based on the analysis of scientific documents and the use of the tool for acquisition of terms called Nomino. A corpus was treated by extracting noun phrases in order to been used with LIKES, a tool capable to identify relationships between concepts. The final ontology was modeled using Protege-2000. This way, our ontology provides a comprehensive representation of scientific terms and it's used to enhance user's requests.
