		<project:description><![CDATA[Identifying topics and concepts associated with a set of documents is
a task common to many applications. It can help in the annotation and
categorization of documents and be used to model a person's current
interests for improving search results, business intelligence or
selecting appropriate advertisements. We are investigating the use of
Wikipedia's articles and associated pages as a topic ontology for this
purpose. The benefits of the approach are that the ontology terms are
developed through a social process, maintained and kept current by the
Wikipedia community, represent a consensus view, and have meaning that
can be understood by reading the associated pages.  We have
demonstrated the use of Wikitology to improve the performance of an
information retrieval system and as a source of evidence in a
intra-document entity co-reference task.
