Abstract:

RelationType is a metapattern that specifies a property in a knowledge graph that directly links the
head of a triple with the type of the tail. This metapattern is useful for knowledge graph link prediction
tasks, specifically when one wants to predict the type of a linked entity rather than the entity instance
itself. The RelationType metapattern serves as a template for future extensions of an ontology with more
fine-grained domain information.
