In our paper we present a project, the aim of which is to develop
innovative and advanced methods for dynamic and automatic
extraction of knowledge about concepts from texts and for automatic
construction of ontologies. The project builds on and further develops
the results of the CAOS project - Computer-Aided Ontology
Structuring - which was carried out at Copenhagen Business School in
the period 1998-2007. Terminological ontologies differ from other
types of ontologies by comprising feature specifications and subdivision
criteria. We have formalised subdivision criteria that have been used for many years in terminology work, by introducing dimensions and
dimension specifications. In the CAOS prototype, facilities for semiautomatic
checking of inconsistencies were developed
