Expanding an oil spill semantic relations taxonomy with a foreign policy semantic relations taxonomy

Abstract

This paper presents the significance, method and findings of expanding an oil spill semantic relations taxonomy with the CAMEO foreign policy semantic relations taxonomy for supporting knowledge discovery. The oil spill relations taxonomy is enriched by integrating the CAMEO relations taxonomy. Context scope notes may need to be added to CAMEO relation terms (especially the polysemous terms) when they are merged into the oil spill relations taxonomy. A term may be classified into different categories due to different context.
