This work was funded in part by US National Science Foundation Information and Intelligent Systems grants for the TIDIE (IIS-0083127) and TANGO (IIS-0414644) projects. Part of the work was also supported by the European Commission under the projects DIP (FP6-507483), SUPER (FP6-026850), and MUSING (FP6-027097), by the Austrian BMVIT/FFG under the FIT-IT Semantic Systems project myOntology (Grant No. 812515/9284), and by a Young Researcher’s Grant from the University of Innsbruck. We are also grateful to Sergei Nirenburg for providing a copy of μK for this work.
Funding Information:
David W. Embley received a B.A. in Mathematics (1970) and an M.S. in Computer Science (1972), both from the University of Utah. In 1976 he earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois. From 1976 to 1982 he was a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Nebraska, where he was tenured in 1982. Since then he has been a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at Brigham Young University. He teaches graduate and undergraduate classes in database systems, discrete mathematics, and extraction and integration of web data. He is co-director of the Data Extraction research group and has been co-director of the Object-oriented Systems Modeling research group. He has published widely and has made numerous presentations at conferences and workshops. His research is supported in part by the National Science Foundation. He is the author of “Object Database Development: Concepts and Principles,” Addison-Wesley, 1998, and a coauthor of “Object-oriented Systems Analysis: A Model-driven Approach,” Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1992. He is a member of the steering committee for the International Conferences on Conceptual Modeling (the ER Conferences), and has served as chair for the committee.

N2 - Realizing the Semantic Web involves creating ontologies, a tedious and costly challenge. Reuse can reduce the cost of ontology engineering. Semantic Web ontologies can provide useful input for ontology reuse. However, the automated reuse of such ontologies remains underex, plored. This paper presents a generic architecture for automated ontology reuse. With our implementation of this architecture, we show the practicality of automating ontology generation through ontology reuse. We experimented with a large generic ontology as a basis for automatically generating domain ontologies that fit the scope of sample naturallanguage web pages. The results were encouraging, resulting in five lessons pertinent to future automated ontology reuse study.
