This paper proposes a semiautomatic method for generating commonsense axioms. The method starts with a set of commonsense rules as seed input, then it applies a metarule to these commonsense rules to generate commonsense axioms by searching over the semantically enhanced version of WordNet. The WordNet glosses have been syntactically and semantically parsed and transformed into semantic triples. The algorithm searches the WordNet for all concepts that have a property specified in a seed rule thus instantiating the seed rule. Axioms are generated linking these concepts with the commonsense rule by using semantic triples. The results show that in one particular instance the algorithm generated 1051 axioms by using a seed of 35 commonsense rules with approximately 98% accuracy.
