Abstract

In the article, we present Dynamo (an acronym of DYNAMic Ontologies), a tool based on an adaptive multi-agent system to construct and maintain an ontology from a domain-specific set of texts. The originality of our proposal is that the adaptative multi-agent system is used both to represent the ontology itself and to produce the ontology. This enables us to propose a system building and maintaining dynamically an ontology according to interactions with the user (also called the ontologist). We present our system and the mechanisms used to build and maintain the ontology from the texts and for the interactions with the ontologist. We also give results of the evaluation of our system.
