Abstract:
In XML retrieval paradigm, elements inside a document can be returned
as answers to a user request. Since the information in an element
is more specific than in a whole document, this might reduce the
user effort in finding relevant information. However, as XML documents
are composed of nested elements, many of which being possibly relevant
to the user information need, retrieval systems must take care of
the overlap issue before showing answers to the user. In this paper,
we investigate how to disallow overlapping results by considering
it as a filtering problem.
