Building Domain Ontologies from Text for Educational Purposes

Building Domain Ontologies from Text for Educational Purposes (revised July 2008)

This paper presents a semi-automatic framework that aims to produce domain concept maps from text and then to derive domain ontologies from these concept maps. This methodology particularly targets the eLearning and AIED (Artificial Intelligence in Education) communities as they need such structures to sustain the production of eLearning resources tailored to learners’ needs. This paper details...

Improving Domain Ontologies by Mining Semantics from Text

Building Domain Ontologies From Relational Database Using Mapping Rules

Ontologies have long been considered the core of semantics as they offer shareable and reusable knowledge about a particular domain. Improving and sharing domain specific knowledge residing in a database is one of the key challenges faced while developing any application. Due to the ever growing amount of data on the Web, it is almost impossible to extract meaningful data and the amount of manu...

Mining Ontologies from Text

Ontologies have become an important means for structuring knowledge and building knowledge-intensive systems. For this purpose, efforts have been made to facilitate the ontology engineering process, in particular the acquisition of ontologies from domain texts. We present a general architecture for discovering conceptual structures and engineering ontologies. Based on our generic architecture w...

Filleting XP for Educational Purposes

Rather than teaching XP as a software development method, we have found that some of XP’s core practices are actually viable learning scenarios. By combining these practices into a set of regulations, we have organized a well-received 200 h software practical regularly conducted during the 4 semester of an applied informatics curriculum.
