Abstract

This paper tackles the problem of semi-automatically extracting hyponymy and overlapping properties between entities belonging to pre-existing database schemes. The algorithm we propose consists of two phases: the first one derives basic hyponymies and overlappings starting from a particular scenario; the second one takes in input basic properties derived by the first phase and extracts further, more general hyponymies. In addition the paper shows some applications of derived hyponymies and overlappings.
