Abstract:
This paper presents an ongoing PhD research project aimed at realizing a tool for semantic control - an Italian thesaurus - that could represent a repository of the Cybersecurity field of knowledge and a means starting from which the representativeness of this domain can be enhanced by increasing the terminological coverage threshold. The paper starts with a description of the methodology followed by the creation of an authoritative corpus. This latter is meant to be the source of the information retrieval for the terms that should be inserted in the Italian controlled vocabulary of Cybersecurity. Afterwards, an overall summary of the semi-automatic terminological extraction will be provided. The paper focuses on the terminological process of mapping the selected terms from the authoritative corpus to the existent standards of Information and Communications Technology Security glossaries and vocabularies by using Python scripts. The paper also focuses on the perspective of how the relationships built in a thesaurus could be migrated to an ontology as a better form of knowledge representation.
