Abstract: We propose a method to evaluate the signi cance of his- torical entities (people, events, and so on.). Here, the sig- ni cance of a historical entity means how it affected other historical entities. Our proposed method rst calculates the tempo-spacial impact of historical entities. The impact of a historical entity varies according to time and location. His- torical entities are collected from Wikipedia. We assume that a Wikipedia link between historical entities represents an impact propagation. That is, when an entity has a link to another entity, we regard the former is in uenced by the latter. Historical entities in Wikipedia usually have the date and location of their occurrence. Our proposed iteration al- gorithm propagates such initial tempo-spacial information through links in the similar manner as PageRank, so the tempo-spacial impact scores of all the historical entities can be calculated. We assume that a historical entity is signi - cant if it in uences many other entities that are far from it temporally or geographically. We demonstrate a prototype system and show the results of experiments that prove the effectiveness of our method.
