We demonstrate the application of this representation by showing how community-based semantics emerges from this model through a process of graph transformation. We illustrate ontology emergence by two case studies, an analysis of a large scale folksonomy system and a novel method for the extraction of community-based ontologies from Web pages.}, issn = {1570-8268}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.websem.2006.11.002}, keywords = {knowledge ontology organization } }
