GrOIL pipeline automates formal ontology creation using LLMs

Researchers have developed GrOIL, a novel seven-stage pipeline for automatically constructing formal ontologies from domain documents. This system ensures corpus grounding, vocabulary consistency, and expressivity, producing auditable Web Ontology Language (OWL) Terminological Boxes (TBox). Unlike previous methods, GrOIL restricts Large Language Model (LLM) usage to specific mediation tasks, grounding the output in Unified Discourse-Hypergraphs (UDH) and enabling SPARQL-based evaluation. Tested on life insurance documents, GrOIL significantly outperformed direct LLM baselines in competency-question coverage and achieved high keyphrase coverage comparable to manually created ontologies. AI

IMPACT This research offers a more robust and auditable method for generating formal ontologies, potentially improving knowledge representation and retrieval in specialized domains.

    GrOIL: Graph-Grounded Domain Ontology Induction with Constrained LLM Mediation

    Constructing formal ontologies from domain documents requires simultaneously enforcing corpus grounding, vocabulary consistency, axiom-level expressivity, and end-to-end provenance, a combination no existing automatic system delivers. We present a seven-stage graph-grounded pipel…
