Abstract
As scientific data repositories, digital libraries and publishers increasingly use the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) for publication and storage interest has arisen in exploiting this formatting for retrieval purposes. XML is attractive because it defines the logical structure of the documents and has the potential to assist IR systems in providing more appropriate results to users, i.e., to return relevant document components (i.e. XML elements) rather than whole documents. In addition, the XML tags often have specific semantics that may be exploited purposefully in IR.

Overview of INEX 2004
INEX'04: Proceedings of the Third international conference on Initiative for the Evaluation of XML RetrievalThe widespread use of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) in scientific data repositories, digital libraries and on the web, brought about an explosion in the development of XML retrieval systems. These systems exploit the logical structure of ...
The NLP task at INEX 2004
The INEX workshop is concerned with Evaluating the effectiveness of XML retrieval systems. In 2004 a natural language query task was added to the INEX Ad hoc track. Standard INEX Ad hoc topic titles are specified in NEXI -- a simplified and restricted ...
Report on the XML mining track at INEX 2005 and INEX 2006: categorization and clustering of XML documents
This article is a report concerning the two years of the XML Mining track at INEX (2005 and 2006). We focus here on the classification and clustering of XML documents. We detail these two tasks and the corpus used for this challenge and then present a ...
