Benchmark for Relational Keyword Search

The benchmark for relational keyword search is a collection of data sets, queries, and relevance assessments designed to facilitate the evaluation of systems supporting keyword search in databases. The benchmark includes three separate data sets with fifty information needs (i.e., queries) for each data set and follows the traditional approach to evaluate keyword search systems (i.e., ad hoc retrieval) developed by the information retrieval (IR) research community.
