Abstract:
An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization, the term is often linked with the Semantic Web, ontologies are used like representations of knowledge, to annotate web resources and also to communication between systems. This make them very important, but unfortunately their construction is expensive, and because they are representations of knowledge, we thought of using the enormous amount of information available under textual format to automate the process of ontology building, and since we deal with texts, the NLP (Natural Language Processing) is considered as the base for the ontology construction from text. In this paper our goal is to propose an agent-based approach to build ontology from text, and implement a multi-agent system guided by this approach, which start from a set of textual resources to give us an ontology in OWL (Ontology Web Language), using the Formal Concept Analysis FCA and Relational Concept Analysis RCA to move from the syntactic level to the semantic level.
