I have been guiding research scholars in the area of Domain Specific Ontology Searching Techniques. If any one would like to share your expertise with published papers, I will really appreciate that.
We have just published a benchmark for ontology search and investigated how several state-of-the-art information retrieval ranking algorithms performed on the task of searching/ranking classes in ontologies. The paper is available at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264458610_Ontology_Search_An_Empirical_Evaluation
Conference Paper Ontology Search: An Empirical Evaluation
We have a paper in press where we used an exemplary glossary as the basis for extracting the ontology of a domain. (We were then able to establish the hierarchy of dependencies.)
