Abstract
This paper describes the work done by the RFIA group at the Departamento de Sistemas Informáticos y Computación of the Universidad Politécnica of Valencia for the 2007 edition of the CLEF Question Answering task. We participated in the Spanish monolingual task only. A series of technical difficulties prevented us from completing all the tasks we subscribed. Our 2006 system was modified in order to comply with the 2007 guidelines, especially with regard to anaphora resolution, tackled with a web based anaphora resolution module.
