Thesis resources #1: CSIRO candidates and associations

As promised before, it’s now time to start sharing some resources that I obtained during my thesis work. This first release contains two CSIRO related items: the list of CSIRO candidates (e-mail addresses) and a list of document-candidate associations.
I was actually keen to make these available before the submission deadline for the Expert Search runs at the TREC 2008 Enterprise track. These lists, of course, are far from perfect, but worked for me quite well. If you have comments, suggestions, improved versions, etc. feel free to contact me!
The files are available at the same place as the CERC collection (so you’ll need the same username and password): http://es.csiro.au/cerc/data/balog. Thanks to Paul Thomas for arranging the hosting!
