We are pleased to announce a new query parsing task in GeoCLEF. This
was not included on the initial CLEF publicity material or in it's
old registration form. This sub-task will be run by Microsoft
Research Asia who will be supplying a substantial set of Web queries
to geo-parse. It is hoped that 800,000 queries will be provided for
any participant of GeoCLEF. Queries will be initially available in
English, however parsing queries in other languages may also occur.
Further details of the task are provided on the track website at:
http://ir.shef.ac.uk/geoclef/.
If you wish to participate in this new task, please register for CLEF 2007.
