Abstract
This chapter presents an example of software architecture, developed by the authors, for performing Ontology Based Information Extraction (OBIE) using an arbitrary ontology. The goal of the architecture is to allow the deployment of applications for arbitrary domains without need of system reprogramming. For that, human operator(s) define the semantics of the application and provide some examples of ontology concepts in target texts; then the system learns how to extract information according to the defined ontology.
An instantiation of the proposed architecture using freely available and high performance software tools is also presented. This instantiation is made for processing texts in a natural language, Portuguese, that was not the original target for most of the tools, showing and discussing the preparation of tools for other languages than the ones provided out of the box.
