Domain specific ontologies from Linked Open Data (LOD)

Abstract

Logical and probabilistic reasoning tasks that require a deeper knowledge of semantics are increasingly relying on general purpose ontologies such as Wikidata and DBpedia. However, tasks such as entity disambiguation and linking may benefit from domain-specific knowledge graphs, which make it more efficient to consume the knowledge and easier to extend with proprietary content. We discuss our experience bootstrapping one such ontology for IT with a domain-agnostic pipeline, and extending it using domain-specific glossaries.
