Extracting Relations towards Ontology Extension

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5559))

Abstract

Extracting local ontology from domain-specific documents for the purpose of acquiring knowledge or semantic information to extend their ontologies is considered very important. Main components of ontology are concepts and relations between concepts. In this paper, we focus on extracting triples, in which verbs are relations and subjects/objects are concepts, from documents based on natural language. Further, we show that term frequency is the most reliable measure among tf-idf and entropy on evaluating relations extracted from documents, particularly the aircraft maintenance manual.
