Ontofly: Ontology engineering using the web

Abstract

Ontology engineering is the task of creating and refining a knowledge model for one or multiple domains. This process is difficult and a great deal of time is required to refine the ontology. In this paper, we present a system that semi-automatically aids the user in creating an ontology using a standard web browser. Our system helps to create ontologies whose target domain can be found on the web and which will be used for extracting knowledge to populate the ontology later on.
