Ponzetto, S. P. & Strube, M.: Deriving a Large-Scale Taxonomy from Wikipedia.. AAAI. AAAI Press, 2007, S. 1440-1445
[Volltext]
We take the category system inWikipedia as a conceptual network. We label the semantic relations between categories using methods based on connectivity in the network and lexicosyntactic matching. As a result we are able to derive a large scale taxonomy containing a large amount of subsumption, i.e. isa, relations. We evaluate the quality of the created resource by comparing it with ResearchCyc, one of the largest manually annotated ontologies, as well as computing semantic similarity between words in benchmarking datasets.
