Serving DBpedia with DOLCE - More than Just Adding a Cherry on Top

چکیده
Large knowledge bases, such as DBpedia, are most often created heuristically due to scalability issues. In the building process, both random as well as systematic errors may occur. In this paper, we focus on finding systematic errors, or anti-patterns, in DBpedia. We show that by aligning the DBpedia ontology to the foundational ontology DOLCEZero, and by combining reasoning and clustering of the reasoning results, errors affecting millions of statements can be identified at a minimal workload for the knowledge base designer.

Automatic Typing of DBpedia Entities
We present Tı̀palo, an algorithm and tool for automatically typing DBpedia entities. T̀ıpalo identifies the most appropriate types for an entity by interpreting its natural language definition, which is extracted from its corresponding Wikipedia page abstract. Types are identified by means of a set of heuristics based on graph patterns, disambiguated to WordNet, and aligned to two top-level ontol...
متن کاملDBpedia - A large-scale, multilingual knowledge base extracted from Wikipedia
The DBpedia community project extracts structured, multilingual knowledge from Wikipedia and makes it freely available using Semantic Web and Linked Data standards. The extracted knowledge, comprising more than 1.8 billion facts, is structured according to an ontology maintained by the community. The knowledge is obtained from different Wikipedia language editions, thus covering more than 100 l...
متن کاملEmpirical Analysis of Foundational Distinctions in the Web of Data
A main difference between pre-Web artificial intelligence and the current one is that the Web and its Semantic extension (i.e. Web of Data) contain open global-scale knowledge and make it available to potentially intelligent machines that may want to benefit from it. Nevertheless, most of the Web of Data lacks ontological distinctions and has a sparse distribution of axiomatisations. For exampl...
متن کاملSweetening Ontologies with DOLCE
In this paper we introduce the DOLCE upper level ontology, the first module of a Foundational Ontologies Library being developed within the WonderWeb project. DOLCE is presented here in an intuitive way; the reader should refer to the project deliverable for a detailed axiomatization. A comparison with WordNet's top-level taxonomy of nouns is also provided, which shows how DOLCE, used in additi...
متن کاملAn empirical assessment of the use of foundational ontologies in ontology development
There is an assumption that ontology developers will use a top-down approach by using a foundational ontology, because it purportedly speeds up ontology development and improves quality and interoperability of the domain ontology. Informal assessment of these assumptions reveals ambiguous results that are not only open to different interpretations but also such that foundational ontology usage ...
