P.: Encyclopedic knowledge patterns from wikipedia links. The Semantic Web–ISWC 2011

Abstract. What is the most intuitive way of organizing concepts for de-scribing things? What are the most relevant types of things that people use for describing other things? Wikipedia and Linked Data offer knowl-edge engineering researchers a chance to empirically identifying invari-ances in conceptual organization of knowledge i.e. knowledge patterns. In this paper, we present a resource of Encyclopedic Knowledge Pat-terns that have been discovered by analyizing the Wikipedia page links dataset, describe their evaluation with a user study, and discuss why it enables a number of research directions contributing to the realization of a meaningful Semantic Web.
