Impact of Ontology based Approach on Document Clustering

Abstract

Document clustering is considered as an important tool in the fast developing information explosion era. It is the process of grouping text documents into category groups and has found applications in various domains like information retrieval, web or corporate information systems. Ontology-based computing is emerging as a natural evolution of existing technologies to cope with the information onslaught. This paper discusses the concepts behind ontology-based document clustering and compares the performance with existing traditional system. The results prove that introducing ontology concepts with document clustering is promising and improves clustering process.
