Finding Similarity Relations in Presence of Taxonomic Relations in Ontology Learning Systems

Ontology learning tries to find ontological relations, by an automatic process. Similarity relationships are one of non-taxonomic relations which may be included in ontology. Our idea is that in presence of taxonomic relations we are able to extract more useful non-taxonomic similarity relations. In this paper we investigate the specifications of an implemented system for extracting these relations by means of new context extraction method which uses taxonomic relations
