From Wikipedia to Semantic Relationships: a Semi-automated Annotation Approach
María Ruiz-Casado, Enrique Alfonseca, Pablo Castells · 2006
Abstract. In this paper, an experiment is presented for the automatic annotation of several semantic relationships in the Wikipedia, a collaborative on-line encyclopedia. The procedure is based on a methodology for the automatic discovery and generalisation of lexical patterns that allows the recognition of relationships among concepts. This methodology requires as information source any written, general-domain corpora and applies natural language processing techniques to extract the relationships from the textual corpora. It has been tested with eight different relations from the Wikipedia corpus. 1
