Abstract

XML element retrieval aims at finding the best elements satisfying a user's information need. Elements spanning only a few words, like titles or italicized phrases, are not in themselves useful results, but they can support the relevance of their enclosing elements. For example, if a section's title contains the key words from the user's query, the title itself is unlikely to be a useful result, but the section is very likely to be useful. This paper provides an overview of methods for exploiting small elements for better retrieval results, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages. Using the INEX testbed, we show that small elements can indeed provide useful retrieval hints, and we evaluate the trade-offs.

Using topic shifts in content-oriented XML retrieval

Content-oriented XML retrieval systems support access to XML repositories by retrieving, in response to user queries, XML document components (XML elements) instead of whole documents. The retrieved XML elements should not only contain information ...

Structural features in content oriented XML retrieval
CIKM '05: Proceedings of the 14th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management

The structural features of XML components are an extra source of information that should be used in a content-oriented retrieval task on this type of documents. In this paper we explore one of the structural features from the INEX collection [1] that ...
