Acquisition of Ontological Knowledge from Canonical Documents

This paper describes experiences with quasiautomated creation of a computational ontology for maritime information from a mixed collection of source material. Based on these experiences, hypotheses and conclusions concerning the creation of computational ontologies for engineering and other technical or scientific domains are presented. Heuristics for resolving anomalies in ontologies generated from mixed sources are also described.
