D1. 5.1 Extracting human expertise from existing ontologies–software V1. 0

Most of the existing ontologies were developed with considerable human efforts. The human expertise captured in the existing ontologies can be extracted to some extent using Knowledge Discovery techniques. This report describes our approach to extracting human expertise from the existing ontologies and the developed software component that is integrated in our software library, TextGarden. We also provide a brief description of TextGarden, a growing software library for handling and analyising text and Web data.
