	%X In order to integrate knowledge in heterogeneous
case-based reasoning (CBR) systems, ontology-based CBR system
has become a hot topic. To solve the facing problems of
ontology-based CBR system, for example, its architecture is
nonstandard, reusing knowledge in legacy CBR is deficient, ontology
construction is difficult, etc, we propose a novel approach for
semi-automatically construct ontology-based CBR system whose
architecture is based on two-layer ontology. Domain knowledge
implied in legacy case bases can be mapped from relational database
schema and knowledge items to relevant OWL local ontology
automatically by a mapping algorithm with low time-complexity. By
concept clustering based on formal concept analysis, computing
concept equation measure and concept inclusion measure, some
suggestions about enriching or amending concept hierarchy of OWL
local ontologies are made automatically that can aid designers to
achieve semi-automatic construction of OWL domain ontology.
Validation of the approach is done by an application example.
