Ontology Learning has been the subject of intensive study for the past decade. Researchers in this field have been motivated by the possibility of automatically building a knowledge base on top of text documents so as to support reasoning based knowledge extraction. While most works in this field have been primarily statistical (known as light-weight Ontology Learning) not much attempt has been made in axiomatic Ontology Learning (called Formal Ontology Learning) from Natural Language text documents. Presentation will focus on the relationship between Description Logic and Natural Language (limited to IS-A) for Formal Ontology Learning.
