In a long term exploitation environment, a Question Answering (QA) system should maintain or even improve its performance over time, trying to overcome the lacks made evident through the interactions with users. We claim that, in order to make progress in the QA over Knowledge Bases (KBs) research field, we must deal with two problems at the same time: the translation of Natural Language (NL) questions into formal queries, and the detection of missing knowledge that impact the way a question is answered. The research on these two challenges has not been addressed jointly until now, what motivates the main goals of this work: (i) the definition of the problem and (ii) the development of a methodology to create the evaluation resources needed to address this challenge.
