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.
