Approaches based on classification rule mining consider items at a flat concept level, with no exploitation of background knowledge on the hierarchical and inter-relational structure of domains. On the other hand, ontologies are a widespread and ever increasing means for expressing such a knowledge. In this paper, we propose a framework for discrimination discovery from ontologies, where contexts of prima-facie evidence of discrimination are summarized in the form of generalized classification rules at different levels of abstraction. Throughout the paper, we adopt a motivating and intriguing case study based on discriminatory tariffs applied by the U. S. Harmonized Tariff Schedules on imported goods.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
