Using YAGO for the Humanities
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study how data from the Semantic Web can be used for case studies in the Humanities. We conduct a proof of concept, using the YAGO knowledge base to study life expectancy, birth rates, and the age at childbirth over time. We also discuss the information extraction methods that we used to make YAGO sufficiently complete for these analyses to work.

They extract semantic compatibility and aliasing information from Wikipedia and Yago, and incorporate it into a coreference resolution system. The authors show that using suc...
متن کاملYAGO: A Core of Semantic Knowledge Unifying WordNet and Wikipedia
We present YAGO, a light-weight and extensible ontology with high coverage and quality. YAGO builds on entities and relations and currently contains more than 1 million entities and 5 million facts. This includes the Is-A hierarchy as well as non-taxonomic relations between entities (such as hasWonPrize). The facts have been automatically extracted from Wikipedia and unified with WordNet, using...
متن کاملSimilarity Measures for Query Expansion in TopX
TopX is a top-k retrieval engine for text and XML data. Unlike some other engines, TopX includes an ontology. This ontology allows TopX to use techniques like word sense disambiguation and query expansion, to search for words similar to the original query terms. These techniques allow finding data items which would be ignored for the original source query, due to missing of words similar to the...

متن کاملYAGO: A Multilingual Knowledge Base from Wikipedia, Wordnet, and Geonames
YAGO is a large knowledge base that is built automatically from Wikipedia, WordNet and GeoNames. The project combines information from Wikipedias in 10 different languages into a coherent whole, thus giving the knowledge a multilingual dimension. It also attaches spatial and temporal information to many facts, and thus allows the user to query the data over space and time. YAGO focuses on extra...
