Designing a Semi-automatic Taxonomy Generation Tool

In this paper, we propose a tool to build taxonomies in a semi-automatic way. Taxonomies are key structures to model and categorize knowledge focusing on the semantics. Designing a taxonomy means finding meaningful concepts respect to a domain of application. This complex task requires the involvement of domain experts to define a representative dictionary. To keep a human-in-the-loop approach, taxonomies have been mostly created manually with a great cost in time and resources. Our goal is to design a general-purpose and multi-language tool that will automatize the process of building a taxonomy from a document corpus. The proposed architecture can be used in different domains, as well as in different languages.
