Abstract

Ontologies are commonly considered as one of the essential parts of the Semantic Web vision, providing a theoretical basis and implementation framework for conceptual integration and information sharing among various domains. In this paper, we present the main principles of a new ontology acquisition framework applied for semi-automatic generation of scientific portals. Extracted ontological relations play a crucial role in the structuring of the information at the portal pages, automatic classification of the presented documents as well as for personalisation at the presentation level.

This work was partially supported by the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic, Research Plan MSM 6383917201, and by the Grant Agency of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Project 1ET100300419.
