A method for developing an ontology for practicing communication data, wherein the ontology is a structural representation of language elements and the relationship between those language elements within the domain, includes providing a training set of communication data and processing the training set of communication data to identify terms within the training set of communication data, wherein a term is a word or short phrase. The method further includes utilizing the terms to identify relations within the training set of communication data, wherein a relation is a pair of terms that appear in proximity to one another. Finally, the terms in the relations are stored in a database.
