Thanks for your quick reply and the pointers. I suppose you do use the Wikipedia disambiguation page to look for candidate senses of a term, considering it as a sense inventory in general. Whether you should use the dbpedia disambiguation page as an alternative I dont know, since it is related to my question and my observation that it is not a 100% mirroring of the wikipedia version.
While both [1] and [2] deals with sense disambiguation, it is not clear how they select "candidate senses". in [1] "We use the DBpedia Lexicalization datasetfor determining candidate disambiguations for each surfaceform." and by refering to the spotlight webpage ".... (Wikipedia) Disambiguations provide ambiguous surface forms that are 'confusable' with all resources they link to. Their labels become surface forms for all target resources in the disambiguation page." - which suggests that dbpedia also uses the Wikipedia "disambiguation page" to look for candidate senses of a term, but perhaps some "filtering" strategies are used; in [2] candidate spotting is not discusssed. As to my question, I am curious in how a "disambiguation page" in wikipedia is converted to a dbpedia page, such that in a lot of cases, many candidate links on the wikipedia page (e.g., "wikipedia/wiki/Cat_(disambiguation)") are not included as disambiguation candidates on the corresponding dbpedia "disambiguation" page (i.e., "dbpedia.org/page/Cat_(disambiguation)".
