New Algorithm for Building Ontology from Existing Rules: A Case Study

From the fact that ontologies can help in making sense of huge amount of content, this paper proposes a case study for building ontology via set of rules generated by rule-based learning system. The proposed algorithm utilises the extracted and representative rules generated from the original dataset in developing ontology elements. The proposed algorithm is applied to a well known dataset in the breast cancer domain. The results are encouraging and support the potential role that this approach can play in providing a suitable starting point for ontology development.
