Abstract:
The paper argues that automatic link generation and typing methods are needed to find and maintain cross-document links in large and growing textual collections. Such links are important to organise information and to support search and navigation. We present an experimental study on mining cross-document links from a collection of 5000 documents. We identify a set of link types and show that the value of semantic similarity can be used as a distinguishing indicator.
