Abstract

This paper presents and approach for knowledge extraction for Case-Based Reasoning systems. The recent development of the WWW, especially the Web 2.0, shows that many successful applications are web based. Moreover, the Web 2.0 offers many experiences and our approach uses those experiences to fill the knowledge containers. We are especially focusing on vocabulary knowledge and are using forum posts to create domain-dependent taxonomies that can be directly used in Case-Based Reasoning systems. This paper introduces the applied knowledge extraction process based on the KDD process and explains its application on a web forum for travelers.
