Abstract

An important issue in the construction of domain ontologies is the task of identifying terms and their corresponding definitions. Though many methods exist for automatic extraction of terminology from plain text, the semantic interpretation of these terms is either manual or semi-automatic. In this paper we present an unsupervised method for automatic term sense disambiguation (TSD), based on the identification of relevant contextual information from the Web. The proposed TSD can be applied to ontology learning (OL).
