Query Sets

The following are three query sets we used for evaluate our system. Each file file has the following format: query\n number of identifiers \n identifier 1 \n identifier 2 ...

"Normal-A" Query Set

The queries of the first query set were composed only of keywords, i.e., we did not include the attribute information. In addition, we selected only values that contained more than three words and a total length of more than 16 characters.

"Normal-B" Query Set

The second query set contains queries with the attribute information. We selected the entities that contained more than three words for their description, without any restrictions to their character length.

"Hard" Query Set

The last query set simulates queries which are considered difficult to be handled by an entity search system. We again included the attribute information in the query, but now we selected values with little information. To achieve this, we selected only the entities that contained up to two words and a total of less than 13 characters.
