Engineering a Multi-Purpose Test Collection for Web Retrieval Experiments.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bailey, Peter; Craswell, Nick; Hawking, David – Information Processing & Management, 2003
Describes a test collection that was developed as a multi-purpose testbed for experiments on the Web in distributed information retrieval, hyperlink algorithms, and conventional ad hoc retrieval. Discusses inter-server connectivity, integrity of server holdings, inclusion of documents related to a wide spread of likely queries, and distribution of…

A Similarity Based Relational Algebra for Web and Multimedia Data.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Montesi, Danilo; Trombetta, Alberto; Dearnley, Peter A. – Information Processing & Management, 2003
Discusses imprecision in multimedia data on the Web and proposes a formal framework in which to formulate powerful queries and presentations of the answers. Introduces a fuzzy-based algebra which allows user preferences, in the form of weights, to alter query expression, and presents algorithms for the evaluation of similarity-based queries.…
