Abstract:
Ontologies are becoming more and more popular as background knowledge for
intelligent applications.
Up to now, there has been a schism between manually assembled, highly axiomatic
ontologies
and large, automatically constructed knowledge bases. This paper discusses how
the two worlds can be
brought together by combining the high-level axiomatizations from
the Standard Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) with the extensive world knowledge of
the YAGO ontology. The result
is a new large-scale formal ontology, which provides information about millions
of entities such as people, cities,
organizations, and companies.
