This table shows the evaluation of the BioCatalogue navigational search based on categories. The evaluation has been made using the queries in our GS and the average precision, recall and F-measure have been calculated for each topic. The cost of edition of the queries is represented by the depth of the category in the taxonomy of categories and the number of siblings of the selected category.
