The EvalJ project develops java source code for the evaluation of information retrieval experiments. XML Retrieval Assessments Interface (X-Rai)

The evaluation of information retrieval systems is an important topic in information retrieval research. Evaluation must be accurately performed to rightly discriminate between retrieval approaches. To compare retrieval approaches, we require test collections, which consist of documents, queries and relevance assessments, the latter stating which documents are relevant to which queries. Obtaining consistent and exhaustive relevance assessment is crucial for the appropriate comparison of retrieval approaches. Whereas the evaluation methodology for retrieval approaches for flat text is well established, the evaluation of structured document retrieval approaches, such as those based on XML, is a research issue. In fact, new evaluation methodologies need to be developed for this purpose. The development of an interface to allow for the consistent and exhaustive assessment of XML documents. The interface was used at INEX, the evaluation initiative for XML retrieval.

Soul is an object oriented recursive descent parser generator framework implemented using C++ operator overloading techniques. It is inspired by Spirit, but use only few template classes thus allowing more flexibility and fastest compilation time. I develop this parser generator to parse a rather ambiguate grammar (XQuery).
