We propose OntoGain, a system for unsupervised ontology acquisition from unstructured text which relies on multi-word term extraction. For the acquisition of taxonomic relations, we exploit inherent multi-word terms’ lexical information in a comparative implementation of agglomerative hierarchical clustering and formal concept analysis methods. For the detection of non-taxonomic relations, we comparatively investigate in OntoGain an association rules based algorithm and a probabilistic algorithm. The OntoGain system allows for transformation of the derived ontology into standard OWL statements. OntoGain results are compared to both hand-crafted ontologies, as well as to a state-of-the art system, in two different domains: the medical and computer science domains.
