20. A method for augmenting an ontology, the method comprising: identifying, by a processing device, an ontology to augment; disambiguating, by the processing device, the ontology to generate a disambiguated ontology, wherein disambiguating the ontology includes identifying a term sense for each term of the ontology; assigning, by the processing device, sense sets from a lexical database to each term in the ontology, the sense sets each include at least one word; determining, by the processing device, a relatedness score for each of the identified term senses and words in the sense sets, augmenting, by the processing device, the disambiguated ontology to generate an augmented ontology by adding at least one of the words in the one or more sense sets that has a relatedness score that exceeds a threshold relatedness score to the disambiguated ontology; and refining, by the processing device, the augmented ontology.
24. The method of claim 20 , wherein disambiguating the ontology further comprises: generating disambiguation candidates from the terms in the ontology; and determining a relatedness score for each candidate, wherein at least the candidate with a best relatedness score is a desired sense of the terms in the ontology.
