Abstract:
Domain ontologies facilitate the organization, sharing, and reuse of subject
areas. Building a software ontology is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
In the process of obtaining a software ontology, it is required to analyze a
huge number of scientific publications relevant to the software being
modeled. The process of ontology replenishing with information from a
huge number of scientific publications can be facilitated and accelerated
through the use of lexical-syntactic patterns of ontological design. In this
paper, we consider the possibility of automated construction of scientific
subject area ontologies based on a heterogeneous patterns system of
ontological design. This system includes ontological design patterns and is
intended for ontology developers. System also includes automatically built
lexical and syntactic patterns, which help to automatic replenishment of the
ontology with information extracted from natural language texts.
