Tourism domain ontology construction from the unstructured text documents

Ontologies is playing an increasingly important role in knowledge management and the Semantic Web. The tourism information ontology is becoming a core research field in the realm of information retrieval. An ontology construction method based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to extract domain ontology from unstructured text documents is proposed. Under the framework of our ontology construction method, the knowledge engineers could reach a new ontology of tourism information that was demonstrated as useful to support their ontology construction tasks.
