Abstract

We present a taxonomy automatically generated from the system of categories in Wikipedia. Categories in the resource are identified as either classes or instances and included in a large subsumption, i.e. isa, hierarchy. The taxonomy is made available in RDFS format to the research community, e.g. for direct use within AI applications or to bootstrap the process of manual ontology creation.
