Abstract

The contribution of this paper is to provide a methodology for automatic ontology enrichment and for document annotation with the concepts and properties of a domain core ontology. Natural language definitions of available glossaries in a given domain are parsed and converted into formal (OWL) definitions, compliant with the core ontology property specifications. To evaluate the methodology, we annotated and formalized a relevant fragment of the AAT glossary of art and architecture, using a subset of 10 properties defined in the CRM CIDOC cultural heritage core ontology, a recent W3C standard.
