Hierarchical classifications are used pervasively by humans as a means to organize their data and knowledge about the world. One of their main advantages is that natural language labels, used to describe their contents, are easily understood by human users. However, at the same time, this is also one of their main disadvantages as these same labels are ambiguous and very hard to be reasoned about by software agents. This fact creates an insuperable hindrance for classifications to being embedded in the Semantic Web infrastructure. This paper presents an approach to converting classifications into lightweight ontologies, and it makes the following contributions: i it identifies the main NLP problems related to the conversion process and shows how they are different from the classical problems of NLP; ii it proposes heuristic solutions to these problems, which are especially effective in this domain; and iii it evaluates the proposed solutions by testing them on DMoz data.
