Automated Dialogue-Based Ontology Elicitation

Abstract This paper presents the work in progress aiming to elaborate a solution for automated dialogue-based ontology elicitation. Fusion of knowledge elicitation and ontology learning techniques into ontology elicitation techniques can be interactively applied to automatically develop domain ontologies without involvement of a knowledge engineer. This is done with a dialogue system implementing ontology elicitation techniques and applying them according to elicitation dialogue plan. Simulating active listening plays an important role in the process of ontology elicitation and is believed to impact the quality of the resulting ontology.
