Specificity Aboutness in XML Retrieval
Pages 176 - 187
Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical methodology to evaluate filters in XML retrieval. Theoretical evaluation is concerned with the formal investigation of qualitative properties of retrieval models. XML retrieval deals with retrieving those document components that specifically answer a query, and filters are a method of delivering the most focused answers. Our theoretical evaluation will critically analyse how filters achieve this.

XML retrieval: what to retrieve?
SIGIR '03: Proceedings of the 26th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in informaion retrievalThe fundamental difference between standard information retrieval and XML retrieval is the unit of retrieval. In traditional IR, the unit of retrieval is fixed: it is the complete document. In XML retrieval, every XML element in a document is a ...
