Automatic Construction of ITS Ontologies with Structural and WordSpace Analysis Specific to ITS Documents

In order to efficiently build up ITS ontologies, the authors take three steps: automatic process from documents and manual process by intelligent transportation system (ITS) experts with ontology editor and then the integration process into refined ITS ontologies in the authors ongoing project. This paper focuses on how to automatically construct ITS Ontologies from ITS standard documents with Structure Analysis and WordSpace Analysis by exploiting sentence patterns specific to ITS documents. The case studies with EFC standard documents show the authors that the proposed automatic process goes well as the preliminary results.
