Semi-automatic Construction of an Ontology and of Semantic Annotations from a Discussion Forum of a Community of Practice

摘要

In this paper we describe a method for creating a semantic portal from a corpus of e-mails of a community of practice. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to build semi-automatically an ontology and semantic annotations from an email-list corpus raises several original issues. The ontology and the annotations thus obtained are then used in a semantic portal that facilitates ontology-guided and personalized navigation of the CoP members.
