Abstract

Accessing web-based information systems such as online encyclopedias is driven by user information needs. As soon as users satisfy their needs for certain information they live the site of such online encyclopedias. Hyperlinks comprised by an online encyclopedia play an important role on guiding users to corresponding articles which explain certain concepts within the system. Therefore, we believe that by providing high quality links within a corpus with insufficient interconnections, its network connectivity is enhanced. Consequently, gaining of networked knowledge is supported. Further, users are more attracted to follow links and stay longer on such sites. In this paper, a linking framework for the most well known Austrian online encyclopedia called Austria-Forum is presented. This linking framework, enables interlinking of semantically related articles within our corpus. Moreover, it provides the possibility to evaluate the quality of linking before making expensive efforts on automatically generating links.
