Abstract
This paper proposes the CITOM approach for an incremental construction of multilingual Topic Maps. Our main goal is to facilitate the user’s navigation across documents available in different languages. Our approach takes into account three types of information sources: (a) a set of multilingual documents, (b) a domain thesaurus and (c) all the possible questioning sources such as FAQ and user’s or expert’s requests about documents. We have been validating our approach with a real corpus from the sustainable construction domain.
