The term Ontology is borrowed from philosophy, where an ontology is a systematic account of Existence. In Computer Science, ontology is a tool allowing the effective use of information, making it understandable and accessible to the computer. For these reasons, the study of ontologies gained growing interest recently. Our motivation is to create a tool able to build ontologies from a set of textual documents. We present a prototype implementation which extracts metadata from textual documents and uses the metadata for adding textual documents to an ontology. In this paper we will investigate which techniques we have available and which ones have been used to accomplish our problem. Finally, we will show a program written in Java which allows us to build ontologies from textual documents using our approach.
