Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for identifying relationships between entities and/or for classifying entities into sectors. Social network commentary of users may be evaluated to select comments having co-occurrences of entity identifiers and/or co-occurrences of entity identifiers with sector identifiers. For example, a microblog message 'I love these stores!! $CO(A) $CO(B) #ShoeShopping' may have a co-occurrence of entity identifiers $CO(A) of a Company (A) entity and $CO(B) of a Company (B) entity along with co-occurrence with a #ShoeShopping sector identifier of a Retail Clothing sector. A relationship between the Company (A) entity and the Company (B) entity may be specified based upon the co-occurrence of the entity identifiers. A sector classification of the Retail Clothing sector may be assigned to the Company (A) entity and to the Company (B) entity based upon the co-occurrence of the entity identifiers $CO(A) and $CO(B) with the #ShoeShopping sector identifier.
