Abstract

Automatically generated ontology can describe the relationship of meta-data in Linked Data or other RDF resources generated from programs, and advances the utility of the data sets. Hierarchical document clustering methods used to generate concept hierarchies from retrieved documents or social tags can be used for constructing taxonomy or ontology for Linked Data and RDF documents. This paper introduces a framework for building an ontology using the hierarchical document clustering methods and compares the performance of three classic algorithms that are UPGMA, Subsumption, and EXT for building the ontology. The experiment shows EXT is the best algorithm to build the ontology for RDF resources and demonstrates that the quality of the ontology generated can be affected by the number of concepts that are used to represent the entities and to formalize the classes in the ontology.
