Terminology Extraction to Build an Ontology of Intelligent Transport Systems

Abstract

Ontologies in the field of information sciences represent the basic building blocks in formal semantic infrastructure construction, which are needed for the development of various semantics-aware applications. At the beginning of any ontology development, it is important to create a dictionary of concepts which will make-up the ontology. The methodological basis for the construction of an Intelligent transport systems ontology and iterative procedures for its expansion is described in this paper. Furthermore, knowledge base analysis methods of terminology extraction for building ontologies within the domain of intelligent transport systems is presented.
