CITOM: An Incremental Construction of Multilingual Topic Maps
Résumé
This paper proposes the CITOM approach for an incremental construction of multilingual Topic Maps. Our main goal is to facilitate user?s
navigation across documents available in different languages. Our approach takes into account three types of information sources: (a) a set of multilingual documents, (b) a domain thesaurus and (c) all the possible questioning sources such as FAQ and user?s or expert?s requests about documents. In this paper we present the different steps of the proposed approach to construct the Topic Map and the pruning process of the generated Topic Map. We validate our approach with a real corpus from the sustainable construction domain.
