Abstract
XML retrieval is a discipline of information retrieval that focuses on the retrieval of specific document fragments that answer a user information need, while exploiting the structural information available in a document. The contribution of this article is twofold. It presents the effective and scalable retrieval model of the XSee search engine for XML documents, and shows that the model is stable over the different collections used for INEX. Furthermore, we discuss how the effectiveness of the retrieval model can be enhanced using different reranking methods based on the structural characteristics.
