For the workshop we intend to gather a diverse range of participants
interested in the machine learning of ontologies. In particular, we are
also interested in the maintenance (revision, incrementality) and
integration (from various sources) aspects of learning ontologies.
Topics of interest include, e.g.:
Text mining for building ontologies
Learning from machine-readable dictionaries
Lexical acquisition
Learning selectional restrictions
Semi-automatic extending of ontologies (WordNet)
Multi-relational learning / Inductive Logic Programming
A-Box Mining
Learning ontologies with inferences (e.g. description logics)
Learning ontologies from the Web (from DTDs, XML, RDF)
Cooperative learning of ontologies
Learning translation rules between ontologies
Reverse Engineering relational schemas to ontologies
