[Kim-discussion] if a named entity is an instance of two classes?

[Philip Alexiev]

Hi Mehnaz,

It is conceptually incorrect to have instances of more than one class. 
My advice is to fix the model and not hack the recognition.

About the second question, it is strange to me that you don't want the 
complete name of the abbreviation recognized. A solution I would 
recommend, is to use the rdfs:comment property to describe the full 
alias. It will be shown as a description of the entity in the KB 
Explorer (popup window) and will not be used in the information 
extraction process. Another way is to use your custom property, which 
will be displayed in the list of properties for that entity.

Hope this helps,
Philip
