Abstract

EuroGOV is a multilingual web corpus that was created to serve as the document collection for WebCLEF, the CLEF 2005 web retrieval task. EuroGOV is a collection of web pages crawled from the European Union portal, European Union member state governmental web sites, and Russian governmental web sites. The corpus contains over 3 million documents written in more than 20 different European languages. In this paper we provide a detailed description of the EuroGOV collection.
