# BEF-China test collection for dataset search

This repository provides a test collection for dataset search in biodiversity. The test collections consists of 14 questions collected in different biodiversity research related projects and refelecting real user informations needs, a corpus of 372 datasets created in the scope of the [BEF-China project](https://bef-china.com) and human assessments evaluating which dataset is relevant for which question.

Further information on the BEF-China project can be obtained from the website: [https://bef-china.com](https://bef-china.com).

## Data Corpus

The data-portal is available under this link [https://data.botanik.uni-halle.de](https://data.botanik.uni-halle.de).

Each datasets is available with the following pattern: `https://data.botanik.uni-halle.de/bef-china/datasets/<dataset-number>`, e.g., https://data.botanik.uni-halle.de/bef-china/datasets/630
