CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The purpose of this SIGIR workshop is to raise issues and promote discussion 
on the methodology of XML retrieval (XML-IR).  Conducting the workshop at 
SIGIR provides an opportunity for IR researchers, who may not be aware of 
work and progress in the area of XML-IR, to participate. It will also allow 
researchers who have researched the area of XML-IR to participate and 
exchange ideas and experience with the other members of the community.

Opinion papers discussing XML element retrieval, and related issues, are 
sought (closing date for submissions: 23 June 2006). Topics include but are 
not limited to Theory, Application, Interaction, Measurement, Judgment, and 
Experience. Note that relevance ranking algorithms are excluded (they are 
the focus of the annual INEX workshop).

This workshop is open to all interested parties. Submission of an opinion 
paper is not required (but is encouraged). Places are limited and preference 
will be given to authors of accepted papers.
