Extracting a Domain-Specific Ontology from a Corporate Intranet

This paper describes our actual and ongoing work in supporting semi-automatic ontology acquisition from a corporate intranet of an insurance company. A comprehensive architecture and a system for semi-automatic ontology acquisition supports processing semi-structured information (e.g. contained in dictionaries) and natural language documents and including existing core ontologies (e.g. GermaNet, WordNet). We present a method for acquiring a application-tailored domain ontology from given heterogeneous intranet sources.
