Ontology is an important technique for semantic interpretation. However, the most existing ontologies are simple computational
models based on only “super-” and “sub-class” relationships. In this paper, a computational model is presented for ontology
mining, which analyzes the semantic relations of “part-of”, “kind-of” and “related-to”, and interprets the semantics of individual
information need. The model is evaluated by comparing the knowledge mined by it, against the knowledge generated manually
by linguists. The proposed model enhances Web information gathering from keyword-based to subject(concept)-based. It is a
new contribution to knowledge engineering and management.
