In this respect, understanding the structure of knowledge bases can provide significant benefits for the effectiveness of such purpose. In particular, Wikipedia has become a very popular knowledge base in the last years because it is a general encyclopedia that has a large amount of information and thus, covers a large amount of different topics. In this piece of work, we analyze how articles and categories of Wikipedia relate to each other and how these relationships can support a query expansion technique. In particular, we show that the structures in the form of dense cycles with a minimum amount of categories tend to identify the most relevant information. %@ 978-1-4503-3611-6
