Abstract

In this paper, the Social Ontology Building and Evolution (SOBE) method and the corresponding software platform for cooperative ontology building in the context of a cluster of enterprises is presented. The SOBE is characterized by three main aspects: (i) automatic knowledge extraction from unstructured documents; (ii) social validation, involving a community of domain experts; (iii) a step-wise approach which goes through five main steps which produce incremental results towards the construction of a domain ontology.
