A Demo for Constructing Domain Ontology from Academic Papers

Traditional construction methods of domain ontology usually have following two limits. First, these methods usually depend on some high cost resources. Second, these methods are easily to result in error propagation because of the errors introduced in the concept identification step. In this paper we present a demo that constructs domain ontology with an easy method. And three main features distinguish our method from traditional methods. First, the proposed method uses academic papers to construct domain ontology. Second, the proposed method carefully selects some keywords in these academic papers as domain concepts. Thus error propagation is reduced accordingly. Third, the proposed method mines hierarchical relations among concepts with a graph generation and conversion method. The effects of our proposed method are evaluated from two perspectives in an IT domain ontology which is constructed with the proposed method: the quality of domain concepts and the quality of concept’s relations. And evaluation results show that both of them achieve high qualities.
