Report on the INEX 2005 interactive track

Published: 01 June 2007 Publication History

Abstract

The overall motivation for the Interactive Track (iTrack) at INEX is twofold. First, to investigate the behaviour of users when interacting with components of XML documents, and secondly to investigate and develop approaches for XML retrieval which are effective in user-based environments. One of the major outcomes of the track in 2004 was the need to investigate methods that can be supportive during the search process based on features extracted from the XML formatting[1][2]. Problems that might be solved using such methods include overlapping components and the presentation of retrieved elements in the result list. In the experimental system that was offered in 2005, these two issues were addressed. This offered the opportunity to study how overall user search behaviour was affected by these changes when compared to the behaviour observed in 2004. In addition, the following issues were addressed in 2005, following the recommendations of the INEX Methodology Workshop at the Glasgow IR Festival1.
