lifecycle. e approach extends the HCOME ontology engineering methodology
(and any other OE methodology that lacks such a task) by adding ontology-learn-
ing-related tasks. is approach can be used in large-scale and open environ-
ments such as the Web, with an unsupervised and automated process of learning
domain ontologies. e learned ontologies can represent rich conceptualizations of
a domain, forming expressive and consistent OWL ontologies. Ontologies created
from such an approach should be further evaluated and evolved, placing them in an
OE methodology, before they can be used in real Web applications.
