Abstract. This paper discusses a method for extracting conceptual hierarchies from arbitrary domain-specific collections of text. These hierarchies can form a basis for a concept-oriented terminology collection, and hence may be used as the basis for developing knowledge-based systems via ontology editors. This reference to ontology is explored in the context of collections of terms. The method presented uses both statistical and linguistic techniques. The result of such an extraction may be useful in information retrieval, knowledge management, or in the discipline of terminology science itself.
