Construction d’un dictionnaire multilingue de biodiversité à partir de dires d’experts (C)

We describe the first steps towards developing a methodology for building a trilingual thesaurus that is dedicated to biodiversity in the Mediterranean region. A key property of our synthetic approach is to discover expert domain knowledge by means of literature-based information extraction techniques. Thus, a highly relevant set of terms, which provides the foundation for a better understanding of biodiversity in a Mediterranean context, is acquired through a text mining method that is outlined in the manuscript. The first results are reported and evaluated. Experts in ecology and biodiversity will be invited in the near future to help improve the design of the terms through hierarchical taxonomies and thus inject their in-depth knowledge in form of a thesaurus dedicated to biodiversity in the Mediterranean region.
