Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for automatically refining ontology within a specific context. The system comprises: a rich context extractor for discovering a semantics relationship conflict existing between an original ontology schema and application data; and an ontology schema and mapping refiner for refining the original ontology schema based on the semantics relationship conflict discovered by the rich context extractor, and creating a new mapping between the refined ontology schema and a data schema of the application data. According to the invention, users can save a lot of work of manual refinement, since the ontology schema is automatically refined based on contexts in the application data.
