Abstract

Domain terminology extraction is an important step in many applications such as ontology building and information retrieval. Analyzing a corpus to automatically extract key terms is a difficult task, especially in the case of Arabic language. The complexity of spelling, morphology and semantics of Arabic makes natural language processing tasks quite difficult. In addition to the complexity of Arabic, the challenges related to domain terminology extraction are caused by the inherent difficulty in determining whether a word or a phrase represents or not a given text. All these problems have not restricted the multitude of Arabic terminology extraction approaches in the ontology building process. Therefore, this article presents a literature review in the field of Arabic terminology extraction focusing on the specificities of this language.
