Abstract

The Semantic Web can be defined as an extension of the current Web in which information is provided with well-defined meaning, so that computers and people are able to work in a cooperative fashion. Ontologies are the de facto knowledge representation methodology in the Semantic Web. Ontology learning from Web documents is considered to be an important activity to promote the Semantic Web. In this paper, an automatic method for acquiring knowledge from Spanish texts is described. The approach presented here is based on semantic roles, which have been employed in our research for extracting semantic relations between concepts. The method makes it possible to represent multiple semantic relations. A set of experiments have been performed with this approach in the oncology domain that show promising results.
