RE: wordnet links in DBpedia

Hi David,

 

the links have been produced by manually mapping Wikipedia infoboxes to
Wordnet synsets. But these links are not maintained anymore (we now have
the Dbpedia ontology for that purpose).

 

Regarding the property wordnet_type: as you say, the Wordnet synset
denotes a class of which Nokia is an instance of. 

 

Best,

Georgi

Subject: wordnet links in DBpedia

 

Hi all,

I just found an example of links from DBpedia to WordNet synsets that
appears to use synsets as proxies for the "real-world" concepts they
denote:

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Nokia
  http://dbpedia.org/property/wordnet_type
  http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/synset-company-noun-1

Can anyone tell me

 1. How these triples are produced?
 2. How <http://dbpedia.org/property/wordnet_type> is to be interpreted?

Looks like this might be relevant to the proposed opencyc:synsetDenotes
property.

Thanks,

David Baxter
