Automatic Derivation of On-line Document Ontologies

This paper describes a method for constructing an ontology which will represent the set of web pages on a specified site. We are developing a technique that will extract knowledge from digital sources, create ontologies containing reusable knowledge to be shared with software agents, and present a view of this knowledge to users. This method will provide a solution to the problem of classifying information and supporting mechanisms that explore its structure, as well as allowing knowledge to be extracted and shared with other software agents.
