Abstract

A domain specific ontology collection associated with a user is determined. At least one action of the user is received. A task for the user is determined based on the domain specific ontology collection for the user and the at least one action of the user.

Claims

1. A method for managing a domain specific ontology collection, the method comprising the steps of:

determining, by one or more computer processors, a plurality of domain specific ontology collection associated with a user, wherein a domain specific ontology collection represents a catalogue of words found in the domain specific ontology collection;

determining, by one or more computer processors, an internet browsing history of the user;

determining, by one or more computer processors, a domain specific ontology collection of the plurality of domain specific ontology collection associated with the user related to a website of the internet browsing history of the user using natural language processing;

determining, by one or more computer processors, a task for the user, wherein the task indicates a website in the internet browsing history for the user to use to update the domain specific ontology collection by adding an element that modifies the domain specific ontology collection;

providing, by one or more computer processors, the task to the user;

receiving, by one or more computer processors, the element to add found in the website to complete the task from the user; and

updating, by one or more computer processors, the domain specific ontology collection with the received information.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the task is one or more of the following:

organizing;

changing;

modifying;

verifying, adding;

or deleting an element of the domain specific ontology collection.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

determining, by one or more computer processors, an alternate element for the element; and

receiving, by one or more computer processors, an indication from the user, wherein the indication confirms, declines, or modifies the alternate element.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the alternate element is one of the following:

a synonym of the element, an antonym of the element, an acronym of the element, a homonym of the element, or a metonym of the element.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the alternate element is one of the following:

a new relationship for the element, an event type for the element, an entity type for the element, an instance for the element, a range of valid values for the element.

6. A computer program product for managing a domain specific ontology collection, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media; and

program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to determine a plurality of domain specific ontology collection associated with a user, wherein a domain specific ontology collection represents a catalogue of words found in the domain specific ontology collection;

program instructions to determine an internet browsing history of the user;

program instructions to determine a domain specific ontology collection of the plurality of domain specific ontology collection associated with the user related to a website of the internet browsing history of the user using natural language processing;

program instructions to determine a task for the user, wherein task indicates a website in the internet browsing history for the user to use to update the domain specific ontology collection by adding an element that modifies the domain specific ontology collection;

program instructions to provide the task to the user;

program instructions to receive the element to add found in the website to complete the task from the user; and

program instructions to update the domain specific ontology collection with the received information.

7. The computer program product of claim 6, wherein the task is one or more of the following:

organizing;

changing;

modifying;

verifying, adding;

or deleting an element of the domain specific ontology collection.

8. The computer program product of claim 7, further comprising program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, to:

determine an alternate element for the element; and

receive an indication from the user, wherein the indication confirms, declines, or modifies the alternate element.

9. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the alternate element is one of the following:

a synonym of the element, an antonym of the element, an acronym of the element, a homonym of the element, or a metonym of the element.

10. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the alternate element is one of the following:

a new relationship for the element, an event type for the element, an entity type for the element, an instance for the element, a range of valid values for the element.

11. A computer system for managing a domain specific ontology collection, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer readable storage media; and

program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to determine a plurality of domain specific ontology collection associated with a user, wherein a domain specific ontology collection represents a catalogue of words found in the domain specific ontology collection;

program instructions to determine an internet browsing history of the user;

program instructions to determine a domain specific ontology collection of the plurality of domain specific ontology collection associated with the user related to a website of the internet browsing history of the user using natural language processing;

program instructions to determine a task for the user, wherein task indicates a website in the internet browsing history for the user to use to update the domain specific ontology collection by adding an element that modifies the domain specific ontology collection;

program instructions to provide the task to the user;

program instructions to receive the element to add found in the website to complete the task from the user; and

program instructions to update the domain specific ontology collection with the received information.

12. The computer system of claim 11, wherein the task is one or more of the following:

organizing;

changing;

modifying;

verifying, adding;

or deleting an element of the domain specific ontology collection.

13. The computer system of claim 12, further comprising program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, to:

determine an alternate element for the element; and

receive an indication from the user, wherein the indication confirms, declines, or modifies the alternate element.

14. The computer system of claim 13, wherein the alternate element is one of the following:

a synonym of the element, an antonym of the element, an acronym of the element, a homonym of the element, or a metonym of the element.

15. The computer system of claim 13, wherein the alternate element is one of the following:

a new relationship for the element, an event type for the element, an entity type for the element, an instance for the element, a range of valid values for the element.
