Categorisation of web documents using extraction ontologies

International Journal of Metadata, Semantics and Ontologies (IJMSO), Vol. 3, No. 1, 2008

Abstract: Automatically recognising which HTML documents on the Web contain items of interest for a user is non-trivial. As a step toward solving this problem, we propose an approach based on information-extraction ontologies. Given HTML documents, tables, and forms, our document recognition system extracts expected ontological vocabulary (keywords and keyword phrases) and expected ontological instance data (particular values for ontological concepts). We then use machine-learned rules over this extracted information to determine whether an HTML document contains items of interest. Experimental results show that our ontological approach to categorisation works well, having achieved F-measures above 90% for all applications we tried.
