Angela Fogarolli, Heiko Stoermer, Barbara Bazzanella · 2010
In Digital content,named entities such as organizations, persons, locations are mentioned implicitly or explicitly using structured annotations. In this paper we attempt to measure an aspect of entity popularity by taking into consideration the occurrences of named entities in 20 years of New York Times articles. This study shows that entity re-use is an interest factor to take into account in the development of entity-centric applications and services.
