    * <New>[URL=http://www.afsg.nl/InformationManagement/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6&Itemid=51&lang=en]ROC[/URL] (Rapid Ontology Construction) is a tool that allows domain experts to quickly build a basic vocabulary for their domain, re-using existing terminology whenever possible. How this works is that the ROC tool asks the domain expert for a set of keywords that are 'core' terms of the domain, and then queries remote sources for concepts matching those terms. These are then presented to the user, who can select terms from the list, find relations to other terms, and expand the set of terms and relations, iteratively.
