Overview of the TREC 2008 Enterprise Track

Abstract : The goal of the enterprise track is to conduct experiments with enterprise data that reflect the experiences of users in real organizations. This year, we continued with the CERC collection introduced in TREC 2007 (Bailey et al., 2007). Topics were developed in conjunction with CSIRO Enquiries, who field email and telephone questions about CSIRO research from the public. The CERC corpus (CSIRO Enterprise Research Collection, http://es.csiro.au/cerc/) represents the public-facing web of the Australian Commonwealth Scientic and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Here, we summarize the main characteristics of this corpus; a complete description of the collection is given by Bailey et al. (2007).
