A Methodology for Domain Ontology Construction Based on Chinese Technology Documents

摘要

Ontology is considered as one of the most important roles in knowledge sharing and reusing. However, how to effectively construct the Chinese domain ontology is a difficult problem. This paper proposed a pattern-learning Chinese domain ontology construction approach based on the fixed and simple characteristic of Chinese syntactic patterns in technology documents. The first step of this method is to construct a prototype of the domain ontology having several representative conceptions and relations. And then it makes a mapping between the prototype and the documents to find syntactic patterns. Finally, it expands the prototype of the domain ontology by using the patterns on the documents. In the end of the paper, it gives an experimental result to show that the proposed method can effectively construct Chinese domain ontology from the technology documents.
