Example of such patterns include "ligt in" ("lie in"), "is gelegen in" ("is located in"), and "treedt toe tot" ("become member of"), respectively describing the located-in and member-of relations.
we observed that 1) tuples harvested from  both the English and Dutch corpora by seeds instantiating a single particular type of part-whole relation highly correlated with tuples discovered by at least one other type of seeds (member-of and contained-in for English, and sub-quantityof, contained-in and structural part-of for Dutch); 2) some part-whole relations are manifested by a wide variety of specialized patterns (sub-quantityof, structural part-of, and located-in for English, and located-in and member-of for Dutch).
