The Computer Science Ontology (CSO) is an automatically generated taxonomy of research topics in the field of Computer Science.[1][2] It was produced by the Open University in collaboration with Springer Nature by running an information extraction system over a large corpus of scientific articles.[3] Several branches were manually improved by domain experts. The current version (CSO 3.2[4]) includes about 14K research topics and 160K semantic relationships.[5]

CSO is available in OWL, Turtle, and N-Triples. It is aligned with several other knowledge graphs, including DBpedia, Wikidata, YAGO, Freebase, and Cyc. New versions of CSO are regularly released on the CSO Portal.[6]
CSO is mostly used to characterise scientific papers and other documents according to their research areas, in order to enable different kinds of analytics.[7] The CSO Classifier[8] is an open-source python tool for automatically annotating documents with CSO.
Applications
edit- Recommender Systems.[9]
- Computing the semantic similarity of documents.[10]
