Abstract

Structured document retrieval allows for the retrieval of document fragments, i.e. XML elements, containing relevant information. The main INEX Ad Hoc track focuses on text-based XML element retrieval. Although text is dominantly present in most XML document collections, other types of media can also be found. Existing research on multimedia information retrieval has shown that it is far from trivial to determine the combined relevance of a document that contains several multimedia objects. The objective of the INEX multimedia track is to exploit the XML structure that provides a logical level at which multimedia objects are connected, to improve the retrieval performance of an XML-driven multimedia information retrieval system.
