Summary

Ontology learning techniques serve the purpose of supporting an ontology engineer in the task of creating and maintaining an ontology. In this chapter, we present a comprehensive and concise introduction to the field of ontology learning. We present a generic architecture for ontology learning systems and discuss its main components. In addition, we introduce the main problems and challenges addressed in the field and give an overview of the most important methods applied. We conclude with a brief discussion of advanced issues which pose interesting challenges to the state-of-the-art.

Knowledge management: the process of capturing value, knowledge and understanding of corporate information, using IT systems, in order to mantain, re-use and re-deploy that knowledge.

Practice: knowledge of how something is customarily done.

From a linguistic point of view, a term t₁ is a hyponym of a term t₂ if we can say a t₁is a kind of t₂. Correspondingly, t₂ is then a hypernym of t₁.
