	abstract =	{Classical information retrieval and overlap measures such
	as the Jaccard index, the Dice coefficient and Salton's cosine
	measure can be characterized by Lorenz curves. This result demonstrates
	the existence of a formal link between information retrieval and the
	information sciences on the one hand, and concentration and diversity
	theory, as used, e.g., in social economics and ecology on the other.},
