A method of rapid prototyping of evolving ontologies

Abstract

A text corpus analysis method is proposed for analyzing a branch of knowledge evolving in time. We apply this method to the case of parallel computing, which has shown a great progress during the last 15 years. For this, we construct a rapid prototype of ontology (RPO) of this domain, based on a large collection of different types of documents. We demonstrate the possibility of embodying the RPO idea and its usefulness for revealing prospects for research in different areas of parallel computing. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
