Focusing on the context of XML retrieval, in this paper we propose a general methodology for managing structured queries (involving both content and structure) within any given st...
This paper presents a theoretical methodology to evaluate filters in XML retrieval. Theoretical evaluation is concerned with the formal investigation of qualitative properties of r...
Abstract. Content-oriented XML retrieval systems support access to XML repositories by retrieving, in response to user queries, XML document components (XML elements) instead of wh...
In information retrieval research, comparing retrieval approaches requires test collections consisting of documents, user requests and relevance assessments. Obtaining relevance a...

Information Retrieval (IR) systems are built with different goals in mind. Some IR systems target high precision that is to have more relevant documents on the first page of their...
The availability of a document’s logical structure in XML retrieval allows retrieval systems to return document portions (elements) instead of whole documents. This helps searche...
Abstract. In focussed XML retrieval, a retrieval unit is an XML element that not only contains information relevant to a user query, but also is specific to the query. INEX defin...
Evaluating the effectiveness of XML retrieval requires building test collections where the evaluation paradigms are provided according to criteria that take into account structural...
Abstract. This paper investigates the effect of performance measures and relevance functions in comparing retrieval systems in INEX, an evaluation forum dedicated to XML retrieval....
In focused XML retrieval, information retrieval systems have to find out which are the most appropriate retrieval units and return only these to the user, avoiding overlapping elem...
