Distinguishing Between Instances and Classes in the Wikipedia Taxonomy - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2008, written by Cäcilia Zirn, Vivi Nastase and Michael Strube.
Overview
This paper presents an automatic method for differentiating between instances and classes in a large scale taxonomy induced from the Wikipedia category network. The method exploits characteristics of the category names and the structure of the network. The approach authors present is the first attempt to make this distinction automatically in a large scale resource. In contrast, this distinction has been made in WordNet and Cyc based on manual annotations. The result of the process is evaluated against ResearchCyc. On the subnetwork shared by taxonomy and ResearchCyc authors report 84.52% accuracy.
