Abstract:

With the continuous development of semantic retrieval technology in many fields, the requirement of domain ontology is increasing. To construct ontology only by
hand cannot satisfy the requirements of ontology application. This paper, starting from the existing method which builds ontology automatically, summarizes the general method of
building ontology automatically, and analyzes the possibility of building meteorological ontology automatically based on the structured data of Wikipedia, and then extracts the
effective classifications from it according to the network links interaction coefficient. By defining the distance between the hops, we extract the effective entries, finally,
we put forward the meteorological ontology automatic building method based on Wikipedia. The experiment shows that this method which has the higher speed and less manual
intervention can satisfy the requirements of ontology construction. It’s sure that this method has a certain role in the application of meteorological ontology.

Key words: Wikipedia, ontology, relatedness, automated building
