Overview of INEX 2007 Link the Wiki Track

Wikipedia is becoming ever more popular. Linking between documents is typically provided in similar environments in order to achieve collaborative knowledge sharing. However, this functionality in Wikipedia is not integrated into the document creation process and the quality of automatically generated links has never been quantified. The Link the Wiki (LTW) track at INEX in 2007 aimed at producing a standard procedure, metrics and a discussion forum for the evaluation of link discovery. The tasks offered by the LTW track as well as its evaluation present considerable research challenges. This paper briefly described the LTW task and the procedure of evaluation used at LTW track in 2007. Automated link discovery methods used by participants are outlined. An overview of the evaluation results is concisely presented and further experiments are reported.
