A Method for Ontology Construction derived from Folksonomy

摘要：

This paper proposes a novel method for constructing ontology derived from folksonomy. Compared with traditional ones,this method is high in speed and costs less,and most important of all, it is appropriate for ontology construction of emerging areas thanks to folksonomy covering the latest concepts. The concrete process is as follows. First of all,overlap similarity is used to measure similarity between co-occurrence tags and Spectral Clustering Algorithm (SCA) is applied to cluster tags with semantic relations. Moreover,another algorithm is provided to obtain hierarchical structure of tags by running SCA repeatedly. Finally,online ontology resource WordNet is employed to add definitions and other semantic relations between tags to finish the work.
