    Dear all!

    I am looking for a extensive list of physical characteristics and
    properties of objects, devices and processes (for example:
    "conductivity","length","temperature"). I would be also happy to receive
    any pointers to the materials describing techniques for automated
    extraction of such notions.

    Among the things I have already found is:
     - "caracterictics" branch of WordNet
     - extraction of words with characteristics-like suffixes from the
    dictionary
     - use of locale semantic patterns, ex:
            smth. has <characteristic> of number + measure
            <characteristic> of smth. is number + measure
            
    Kindest regards,
    Alexander Vorontsov
