All You Can Eat Ontology-Building: Feeding Wikipedia to Cyc - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Samuel Sarjant, Catherine Legg, Michael Robinson and Olena Medelyan.
Overview
In order to achieve genuine web intelligence, building some kind of large general machine-readable conceptual scheme (i.e. ontology) seems inescapable. Yet the past 20 years have shown that manual ontology-building is not practicable. The recent explosion of free user-supplied knowledge on the Web has led to great strides in automatic ontology-building, but quality-control is still a major issue. Ideally one should automatically build onto an already intelligent base. Authors suggest that the long-running Cyc project is able to assist here. Authors describe methods used to add 35K new concepts mined from Wikipedia to collections in ResearchCyc entirely automatically. Evaluation with 22 human subjects shows high precision both for the new concepts' categorization, and their assignment as individuals or collections. Most importantly authors show how Cyc itself can be leveraged for ontological quality control by 'feeding' it assertions one by one, enabling it to reject those that contradict its other knowledge.
