[more ▼] In the information retrieval context, resource collections are frequently classified using thesauri. However, the limited semantics pro- vided by thesauri restricts the collection search and browsing capabilities. This work focuses on improving these capabilities by transforming a set of resources indexed according to a thesaurus into a semantically tagged collection. The core mechanism for building this collection is based on the conversion of the domain specific thesaurus (indexing the collection of resources) into a domain ontology connected to an upper level ontol- ogy. The feasibility of this work has been tested in the urban domain by transforming the resources accessible through the European Urban Knowledge Network into a Linked Data repository.

[more ▼] Since the development of ontologies from scratch requires much time and many resources, the activity of knowledge acquisition constitutes one of the most impor- tant steps at the beginning of the ontology development process. This activity is essential in all the different methodologies for ontology design as a previous step to the conceptualization and formalization phases. And as its name indicates, this activity is devoted to gather all available knowledge resources describing the domain of the ontology and identify the most important terms in the domain. This chapter is focused on the study of methods and techniques for the (semi-) automatic processing of knowledge resources that may alleviate the work of knowledge acquisition. This task is known as ontology learning in the literature of ontological engineering. The aim of ontology learning is to apply the most appropriate methods to transform unstructured (e.g., text corpora), semi-structured (e.g., folksonomies, HTML pages) and structured data sources (e.g., databases, thesauri) into conceptual structures. The methods of ontology learning are usually connected with the activity of ontology population, which also relies on (semi-)automatic methods to transform unstruc- tured, semi-structured and structured data sources into instance data (i.e., instances of ontology concepts).

[more ▼] Ontology learning is the term used to encompass methods and techniques employed for the (semi-) automatic processing of knowledge resources that facilitate the acquisition of knowledge during ontology construction. This chapter focuses on ontology learning techniques using thesauri as input sources. Thesauri are one of the most promising sources for the creation of domain ontologies thanks to the richness of term definitions, the existence of a priori relationships between terms, and the consensus provided by their extensive use in the library context. Apart from reviewing the state of the art, this chapter shows how ontology learning techniques can be applied in the urban domain for the development of domain ontologies.

[more ▼] Thesauri are used for document referencing. They define hierarchies of domains. We show how document and domain contents can be used to validate and update a classification based on a thesaurus. We use document indexing and classification techniques to automate these operations. We also draft a methodology to systematically address those issues. Our techniques are applied to Urbamet, a thesaurus in the field of town planning. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 25 (5 ULg) |
