On the 30th July 2005,
a workshop on XML element retrieval methodology was held as part of the
Information Retrieval Festival at the University of Glasgow. Ten papers were presented in four sessions. Each session addressed one aspect of the
methodology of XML IR: metrics, users, interactive / heterogeneous, and judging
(relevance ranking was excluded). This
report outlines the events of the workshop and the major outcomes.
