Generic NLP Tools for Supporting Shallow Ontology Building

Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2006)

Abstract

In this paper we present on-going investigations on how complex syntactic annotation, combined with linguistic semantics, can possibly help in supporting the semi-automatic building of (shallow) ontologies from text by proposing an automated extraction of (possibly underspecified) semantic relations from linguistically annotated text.
