Call for Participation: INEX 2003

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to proj.inex03 as well.

                            INEX 2003
            Initiative for the Evaluation of XML retrieval
                      Call for Participation

                    April 2003 - December 2003

The Initiative for the Evaluation of XML retrieval (INEX) invites
organisations to participate in the INEX 2003 round. The invitation is
open to all research groups with an interest in XML retrieval.

The INEX evaluation initiative is part of a large-scale effort to
encourage research in information retrieval and digital libraries. The
main goal of INEX is to promote the evaluation of content-oriented XML
retrieval by providing a large test collection of XML documents,
uniform scoring procedures, and a forum for organisations to compare
their results. Now in its second year, INEX invites organisations to
participate in this international, coordinated effort to XML retrieval
evaluation.

In INEX 2003, participating organisations will be able to compare the
retrieval effectiveness of their XML document retrieval systems and
will contribute to the construction of a large XML test
collection. The test collection will also provide participants a means
for future comparative and quantitative experiments. Due to copyright
issues, only participating organisations will have access to the
constructed test collection.
