-Intersting?
-We have developed a natural language interface (NLI-Z39.50) for access
-to library databases at the Fernuniversität Hagen, Germany
-(http://ki212.fernuni-hagen.de/nli/NLI.html).
-To prepare formal information retrieval evaluation,
-we chose the Zebra server as the basis for
-evaluating retrieval effectiveness (measuring recall
-and precision for the GIRT database). The Zebra database
-consists of more than 76000 records in SGML format (bibliographic
-records from social science), which are mapped to MARC for presentation.
-Evaluation will take place as part of the TREC/CLEF campaign 2003
-(see http://clef.iei.pi.cnr.it or http://www4.eurospider.ch/CLEF/).
