Carlyle wants to hear about user studies on work-grouping algorithms

Allyson Carlyle sent the following to the FRBR mailing list last week. If you can help her, drop her some mail at acarlyle@u.washington.edu.

Do any of you know of a research project that actually tested the
effectiveness of work record identification algorithms such as
the FRBR Work Set Algorithm?  That is, how effective is it in
actually finding all of the records representing a work?  What
percentage of records does it identify, and what percentage does
it not find?

I'm writing an article and want to know for sure if anyone has
done this kind of research.
