- The INEX Efficiency Track is intended to provide a common forum for the evaluation of both the effectiveness and efficiency of XML ranked retrieval approaches on real data and real queries. As opposed to the purely synthetic XMark or XBench settings still prevalent in this area, the Efficiency Track continues the INEX tradition using a rich pool of manually assessed relevance judgments for measuring retrieval effectiveness. One of the main goals is to attract more groups from the DB community to INEX, thus being able to study effectiveness/efficiency tradeoffs in XML ranked retrieval for a broad audience from both the DB and IR communities. The Efficiency Track significantly extends the Ad-Hoc Track by systematically investigating different types of queries and retrieval scenarios.
