ConceptRDF: An RDF presentation of ConceptNet knowledge base

Abstract

The exponential growth of information on the Web has prompted the introduction of new technologies such as Semantic Web and Common Sense knowledge bases. While there are different models available to present information, RDF, as the cornerstone of Semantic Web technologies, has a dominant place for formats suitable both for human interactions and machine understanding. In this paper we present ConceptRDF, a conversion of ConceptNet, as one of the largest common sense knowledge bases available for public use, to RDF/XML format, suitable for use in different fields of information retrieval.
