Responsiveness Task


You have been given a topic statement and simple user profile, along
with a file containing a number of summaries that contribute toward
satisfying the information need expressed in the topic.  Some of the
summaries may be more responsive to the topic than others. Your task
is to help us understand how relatively well each summary responds to
the topic.

Read the topic statement and all the associated summaries. Then grade
each summary according to how responsive it is to the topic
RELATIVE TO THE OTHERS:

   1   2   3   4   5   (1 = worst, 5 = best)
  
Responsiveness should be measured primarily in terms of the amount of
information in the summary that actually helps to satisfy the
information need expressed in the topic statement, at the level of
granularity requested in the user profile.  The linguistic quality of
the summary should play a role in your assessment only insofar as it
interferes with the expression of information and reduces the amount
of information that is conveyed.
