This forum provided researchers with a large collection of textual materials, queries and associated relevance judgements, and a uniform scoring procedure. The conference, co-sponsored by the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (APRPA) and the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), was a benchmarking exercise which involved gauging the relative effectivenesses of many different approaches to the indexing and retrieval of large volumes of text. A second conference/workshop (TREC-2) was held in early September 1993 and was the culmination of the experimental runs carried out at over 31 sites where information retrieval research is carried out across the world. A call for participation in TREC-2 was drafted and circulated (mostly electronically) during November and December 1992 with a closing date of intent to participate of December 5th, 1992. There were a total of 39 groups who submitted an initial request
