Using a Lexical Semantic Network for the Ontology Building

Abstract

In the present article, we focus on mining lexical semantic knowledge resources for the ontology building and enhancement. The ontology building is often a descending and manual process where the high level concepts are defined, then detailed by human experts. We explore a way of using a multilingual or monolingual lexical semantic network to make evolve or localize an existing ontology with a limited human effort.
