Abstract

One of the major obstacles for knowledge management remains MultiWord Terminology (MWT). This paper explores the difficulties that arise and describes real world solutions implemented as part of the Parmenides project. Parmenides is being built as an integrated knowledge management package that combines information, MWT and ontology extraction methods in a semi-automated framework. The focus of this paper is on eliciting ontological fragments based on dedicated MWT processing.
