Abstract

Clustering is an important topic to find relevant content from a document collection and it also reduces the search space. The current clustering research emphasizes the development of a more efficient clustering method without considering the domain knowledge and user’s need. In recent years the semantics of documents have been utilized in document clustering. The discussed work focuses on the clustering model where ontology approach is applied. The major challenge is to use the background knowledge in the similarity measure. This paper presents an ontology based annotation of documents and clustering system. The semi-automatic document annotation and concept weighting scheme is used to create an ontology based knowledge base. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) clustering algorithm can be applied to obtain the clustering solution. The accuracy of clustering has been computed before and after combining ontology with Vector Space Model (VSM). The proposed ontology based framework gives improved performance and better clustering compared to the traditional vector space model. The result using ontology was significant and promising.
