abstract = {We demonstrate that applying a domain-specific ontology standard significantly improves Automated Text Classification (ATC). We use the Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) to define a standard ontology and compare the performance of an ACT engine (IBM Classification Module v.8.6) against 2 other list of concepts, namely simple and hierarchical. Our sample of financial news is extracted from the Reuters Corpus Volume 1 (RCV1), where 2 experts in finance help us code 1000 of the 45000 news dealing with mergers and acquisitions. We report recall, precision, the F measure, and in addition a hierarchical measure adjusted for classification relevance in parent classes, as well as a more detailed measure evaluating the classification improvements at the level of each text.},
