Besides being difficult to scale between different domains and to handle knowledge fluctuations, the results of terms clustering presented by existing ontology engineering systems are far from desirable. In this paper, we propose a new version of ant-based method for clustering terms known as Tree-Traversing Ants (TTA). With the help of the Normalized Google Distance (NGD) and n • of Wikipedia (n • W) as measures for similarity and distance between terms, we attempt to achieve an adaptable
