description: This paper presents SOFIE, a system for automated on-  tology extension. SOFIE can parse natural language docu-  ments, extract ontological facts from them and link the facts  into an ontology. SOFIE uses logical reasoning on the exist-  ing knowledge and on the new knowledge in order to disam-  biguate words to their most probable meaning, to reason on  the meaning of text patterns and to take into account world  knowledge axioms. This allows SOFIE to check the plau-  sibility of hypotheses and to avoid inconsistencies with the  ontology. The framework of SOFIE unites the paradigms of  pattern matching, word sense disambiguation and ontolog-  ical reasoning in one unified model. Our experiments show  that SOFIE delivers high-quality output, even from unstruc-  tured Internet documents.
