Domain Specific Search Engines are expected to provide relevant search results. Availability of enormous number of URLs across subdomains improves relevance of domain specific search engines. The current methods for seed URLs can be systematic ensuring representation of subdomains. We propose a fine grained approach for automatic extraction of seed URLs at subdomain level using Wikipedia and Twitter as repositories. A SeedRel metric and a Diversity Index for seed URL relevance are proposed to measure subdomain coverage. We implemented our approach for 'Security-Information and Cyber' domain and identified 34,007 Seed URLs and 400,726 URLs across subdomains. The measured Diversity index value of 2.10 conforms that all subdomains are represented, hence, a relevant 'Security Search Engine' can be built. Our approach also extracted more URLs (seed and child) as compared to existing approaches for URL extraction.

Abstract1 Ontologies have emerged as a common way of representing knowledge. Recently, people with minimal domain background or ontology engineering are developing ontologies, leading to a corpus of informal and under-evaluated ontologies. Existing ontology evaluation approaches require rigorous application of formal methods and knowledge of domain experts that can be cumbersome or tedious. We propose a lightweight approach for evaluating sufficiency of ontologies based on Natural Language Processing techniques. The approach consists of verifying the extent of coverage of concepts and relationships of ontologies against words in domain corpus. As a case study, we applied our approach to evaluate sufficiency of ontology in two example domains -Education (Curriculum) and Security (Phishing). We show that our approach yields promising results, is less effort intensive and is comparable with existing evaluation methods.
