Abstract

Ontology automatic enrichment consists of adding automatically new concepts and/or new relations to an initial ontology built manually using a basic domain knowledge. In a concrete manner, enrichment is firstly, extracting concepts and relations from textual sources then putting them in their right emplacements in the initial ontology. However, the main issue in that process is how to preserve the coherence of the ontology after this operation. For this purpose, we consider the semantic aspect in the enrichment process by using similarity techniques between terms. Contrarily to other approaches, our approach is domain independent and the enrichment process is based on a semantic analysis. Another advantage of our approach is that it takes into account the two types of relations, taxonomic and non taxonomic ones.
