Popis: The issue of information retrieval in XML documents was first investigated by the database community. Recently, the Information Retrieval (IR) community started to investigate the XML search issue. For this purpose, traditional information retrieval models were adapted to process XML documents and rank results by relevance. In this paper, we describe an IR approach to deal with queries composed of content and structure conditions. The XFIRM model we propose is designed to be as flexible as possible to process such queries. It is based on a complete query language, derived from Xpath and on a relevance values propagation method. The value of this proposed method is evaluated thanks to the INEX evaluation initiative. Results show a relative high precision of our system.
