The paper deals with the problem of cluster discovery in the context of Semantic Web knowledge bases. A partitional clustering algorithm is presented. It is applied for grouping resources contained in knowledge bases and expressed in the standard ontology languages. The method exploits a language-independent semi-distance measure for individuals that is based on the semantics of the resources w.r.t. a context represented by a set of concept descriptions (discriminating features). The clustering algorithm adapts
