Towards Ontology-based E-mail Fraud Detection

The European FF POIROT project (IST-2001-38248) aims at developing applications for tackling financial fraud, using formal ontological repositories as well as multilingual terminological resources. In this article, we want to focus on the development cycle towards an application recognizing several types of e-mail fraud, such as phishing, Nigerian advance fee fraud and lottery scam. The development cycle covers four tracks of development - language engineering, terminology engineering, knowledge engineering and system engineering. These development tracks are preceded by a problem determination phase and followed by a deployment phase. Each development track is supported by a methodology. All methodologies and phases in the development cycle will be discussed in detail
