Abstract:

Both a general domain-independent bottom-up multi-level model and an algorithm for establishing the taxonomic relation of Chinese ontology are proposed.The model consists of extracting domain vocabularies and establishing taxonomic relation,with the consideration of characteristics unique to Chinese natural language.By establishing the semantic forests of domain vocabularies and then using the existing semantic dictionary or machine-readable dictionary(MRD),the proposed algorithm can integrate these semantic forests together to establish the taxonomic relation.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is feasible and effective in establishing the integrated taxonomic relation among domain vocabularies and concepts.
