SubclassOf - Loop in Yago Taxonomy #3

Closed AlexanderRassier closed 7 years ago

AlexanderRassier commented 7 years ago

While working with the Taxonomy theme of Yago I discovered a SubclassOf - Loop that occured. Here an example for the word 'banana':

<id_wJJCv2bY5e_owS_b!6mzcZmDD> rdfs:subClassOf

rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf The Loop consists of: * abstraction * concept * idea * opinion * message * communication * connection * shape * spatial property * property * possession * enchantment * sorcery * magic * supernaturalism * belief * content * collection * grouping * activity * capability * aptitude * ability * quality * attribute After that 'attribute' is again a subclass of 'abstraction'.

Hello, it seems to me that the path is not closed

In both examples you go from

<wordnet_aptitude_105622456> rdfs:subClassOf <wordnet_ability_105616246>
<wordnet_ability_105200169> rdfs:subClassOf <wordnet_quality_104723816>

but <wordnet_ability_105616246> and <wordnet_ability_105200169> are two different entities. (Wordnet uses synset ids to distinguish the different meanings of a word)

You are right, that was something I did not pay attention to, sorry for that.

Thank you for the clarification and the fast response!
