Abstract

The growing presence of Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a data representation format on the web brings opportunity to develop new approaches to data analysis. One of important tasks is learning categories of data. Although RDF-based data is equipped with properties indicating its type and subject, building categories based on similarity of entities contained in the data provides a number of benefits. It mimics an experience-based learning process, leads to construction of an extensional-based hierarchy of categories, and allows to determine degrees of membership of entities to the identified categories. Such a process is addressed in the paper.
