Abstract
Datasets on the Web of Data (WoD) are often published without a precise schema which may discourage their reuse. Methods for schema acquisition from linked data have been proposed that mainly exploit the regularities in property and/or value distributions in resources to discover potentially useful classes as homogeneous clusters. Yet the crucial task of interpreting and naming the discovered classes is left to the human analyst. We prone a more holistic approach to schema discovery that, beside clustering, assists the analyst by suggesting plausible names for clusters. In doing that we: (1) rely on concept analysis for class discovery from linked data and (2) exploit known DBpedia types and shared properties to form candidate names. An evaluation of our approach with a dataset from the WoD showed it performs well.
