ontology; semantic web

The number of web pages grows constantly and it is therefore more complicated to find relevant information. That is why in 2001, the World Wide Web creator Tim Berners-Lee introduced the idea of the Semantic Web. One part of the Semantic Web are the software agents that search the web and collaborate with each other. Successful search is based on information that is well structured and described. In the environment of the Semantic Web, this structured organisation of information is achieved by creating ontologies; they can be created by various methods, the most frequent one is the mining of knowledge of experts. This article describes the thoroughly proposed method that creates ontologies by gathering explicit and tacit knowledge of experts.
