Ontologies define a set of terms and the relationships (e.g., is-a and has-a) between them. An ontology relating the tags in a collaborative tagging system (CTS) makes the CTS easier to understand. We propose an algorithm to automatically construct an ontology from CTS data and empirically compare with related work on four real data sets -Del.icio.us, LibraryThing, CiteULike, and IMDb. We also verify the effectiveness of our algorithm in detecting is-a and has-a relationships.
