AOL is embarking on a new direction for its business - making its content and products more freely available to all consumers. To support those goals, AOL is also embracing the vision of an open research community, which is creating opportunities for researchers in academia and industry alike.

Currently, at the AOL Research website (http://research.aol.com) the following datasets have been made available:

• 20,000 hand labeled, classified queries
• 3.5 million web question/answer queries (who, what, where, when, etc.)
• Query streams for 500,000 users over 3 months (20 million queries).
• Query arrival rates for queuing analysis
• 2 million queries against US Government domains.
