Title
Searching and ranking questionnaires - an approach to calculate similarity between questionnaires.
Abstract
Questionnaires are useful tools for research purposes and are generally used for collecting information about a population of interest, by focusing on different intentions. During the questionnaire project, or for sharing data purposes, it may be useful to check if there is already a questionnaire with the same intention as that being carried out. Well-designed questions can induce respondents to provide better answers. However, examining research questionnaires is not a trivial task since a question can be structured in different ways. In this paper, we propose a similarity measure to match questionnaires that are characterized by the heterogeneity of their questions and to provide a ranking method based on variations of a given query. In determining the effectiveness of this approach, we evaluated it through an experimental study, using recall, precision, f-value, MAP and NDGC, and this enabled us to obtain more effective results than other proposals.
