Title
Ontological summaries through hierarchical clustering
Abstract
One approach to deal with large query answers or large collections of text documents is to impose some kind of structure to the collection for instance by a grouping into clusters of somehow related or close items. Another approach is to consider characteristics of the collection for instance by considering central and/or as a frequent keywords possibly taken from a background vocabulary or a more thorough structuring of background knowledge, like taxonomies or ontologies. In this paper we present a preliminary approach to combine these directions. More specifically we address an approach where conceptual summaries can be provided as answers to queries or survey over a document collection. The general idea is to apply a background knowledge ontology in connection with a combined clustering and generalization of keywords. Preliminary experiments with Wordnet as background knowledge and excerpts from Semcor as data are presented and discussed.
