Abstract: <BR>In this paper we focus on systematic enrichment of ontologies by candidate concepts.&nbsp;&nbsp; To achieve this goal we compare semantic distance measures between concepts in an ontology with similarity and dissimilarity information introduced by statistical analysis of text corpora. Moreover we present methods, how the corpus extraction and the processing of the statistical information is also enhanced by a given ontology. Summing up these ontological methods we state the enrichment problem as an optimization problem. Its solution will yield two results: the best candidate concepts for the enrichment and the position of these candidates relative to the existing concepts of the ontology. <BR>
