Abstract

Decision making in the financial domain is a very challenging endeavor. The risk associated to this process can be diminished by gathering as much accurate and pertinent information as possible. However, most relevant data currently lies over the Internet in heterogeneous sources. Semantic Web technologies have proven to be a useful means to integrate knowledge from disparate sources. In this work, a framework to semi-automatically populate ontologies from data in semi-structured documents is proposed. The validation results in the financial domain are very promising.
