چکیده
In the last years several top-quality papers utilized temporary Desktop data and/or browsing activity logs for experimental evaluation. Building a common testbed for the Personal Information Management community is thus becoming an indispensable task. In this paper we present a possible dataset design and discuss the means to create it.

Combining Fact and Document Retrieval with Spreading Activation for Semantic Desktop Search
The Semantic Desktop is a means to support users in Personal Information Management (PIM). It provides an excellent test bed for Semantic Web technology: resources (e. g., persons, projects, messages, documents) are distributed amongst multiple systems, ontologies are used to link and annotate them. Finding information is a core element in PIM. For the end user, the search interface has to be i...
متن کاملBuilding Pseudo-Desktop Collections
Research on the desktop search has been constrained by the lack of reusable test collections. This led to a high entry barrier for new researchers and difficulty in the comparative evaluation of existing methods. To address this point, we introduce a method for creating reusable pseudo-desktop collections by gathering documents and generating queries that have similar characteristics to actual ...
متن کاملMobile information retrieval with search results clustering: Prototypes and evaluations
Web searches from mobile devices such as PDAs and cell phones are becoming increasingly popular. However, the traditional list-based search interface paradigm does not scale well to mobile devices due to their inherent limitations. In this article, we investigate the application of search results clustering, used with some success for desktop computer searches, to the mobile scenario. Building ...
متن کاملThe Beagle++ Toolbox: Towards an Extendable Desktop Search Architecture
The rapidly increasing quantity and diversity of data stored on our PCs made locating information in this environment very difficult. Consequently, recent research has focussed on building semantically enhanced systems for either organizing or searching data on the desktop. Building on previous work, in this paper we present the Beagle toolbox, a set of extendable building blocks for implementi...
متن کاملTowards “Cranfield” Test Collections for Personal Data Search Evaluation
Desktop archives are distinct from sources for which shared “Cranfield” information retrieval test collectionshave been created to date. Differences associated with desktop collections include: they are personal to the archive owner, the owner has personal memories about the items contained within them, and only the collection owner can rate the relevance of items retrieved in response to their...
