Foll[OCRerr]dng the *STOP card, the relevant document data needed for the
automatic evaluation system must be submitted, if SCORES ts specified.
If SCORES is not specified, relevant documei[OCRerr]ts are omitted. The cards
containing the relevance data are preceded and followed by a card with
*RELS in columns 1-5 and a blank in column 6. For each request, a card
is punched with the request identifier in cols 1-12, and the nuniber of
relevant documents in cols 13-16, right adjusted. This card is followed
by a set of cards specifying the relevant documents. Each relevant
document identifier is punched in cols 1-12 of a separate card. Columns
13-15 should be left blank, as these are reserved for a future extension
of the evaluation program to include degrees of relevance.
Relevance judgment data may be placed on either [OCRerr] or [OCRerr]. If
relevance judgments are given, they must occur as one continuous deck of
cards, surrounded by *REL& cards, placed after the *sTOP card. Exactly
one set of relevance judgments should be supplied for each request
(i.e., documents preceded by *FIND or *LIKE cards). These relevance
judgments may be on either tape, in any order. All document and request
identifiers, however, must be spelled in exactly the same way on the
relevance judgment cards as on the *FIND, *LIKE, and *TEXT cards. Relevance
judgments may be placed on A6, whether or not SCORES is requested when the
tape is read, but if SCORES is not specified and A(1[OCRerr]IN is specified, there
should be no relevance judgments on A2.
[OCRerr].5 Other Instruction Cards
To place comments on the print tape, the *NOTE card is used. This
card contains a *T[OCRerr]OTE in columns 1-5, blank in column 6, and comments
to be printed and ignored in columns 6-72. Printing is done off-line.
