OntoExtend framework uses LLMs for scalable ontology extension

Researchers have developed OntoExtend, a novel framework designed to streamline the process of ontology extension using Large Language Models (LLMs). This system leverages retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to propose extensions based on specific requirements, framed as competency questions. Evaluations on two distinct use cases, including the Onto-DESIDE project and an industrial ontology from Bosch, indicate that OntoExtend effectively generates ontology fragments with minimal structural issues and high functional accuracy, serving as a valuable drafting assistant for ontology engineers. AI

IMPACT This framework could significantly speed up the development and maintenance of knowledge bases by automating parts of the ontology extension process.

    OntoExtend: A Framework for Requirement-driven and Scalable Ontology Extension with LLMs

    arXiv:2607.17963v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ontology extension refers to the process of enriching an existing ontology in response to emerging requirements, making it more complete. This task is a resource-intensive and error-prone process. Large Language Models (LLMs) have s…
