    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method wherein a natural language query is received from a user with an interface. An ontological representation of data in a database is received with an input port, including names of concepts and names of concept properties. Template rules are received with the input port, the templates rules being language dependent and ontology independent, the template rules including widely used constructs of a language. Rules are automatically generated with a rule generation engine with the ontological representation of the data in the database and the template rules to identify entities and relations in the natural language query. Entities and relations are identified with a processor, the entities and relations being identified in the natural language query with the rules. The structured data language query is generated with a query generation engine from the entities and relations.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining an input text, identifying a first term in the input text, and accessing lexicon data to identify a first entry corresponding to the first term. The first entry includes core data corresponding to domain- independent lexical information for the first term, and non-core data corresponding to domain-specific lexical information for the first term. The method also includes determining that the non-core data of the first entry identifies a second term in the input text as a modifier of the first term. The method further includes generating a partially parsed and bracketed version of the input text. The partially parsed and bracketed version indicates that the second term modifies the first term in the input text. The method also includes generating a parsed version of the input text based on the partially parsed and bracketed version of the input text.

    Abstract: A method includes performing, at a device, an analysis of a domain-specific corpus to identify a base term and a modifier term. The modifier term modifies the base term in at least a portion of the domain-specific corpus. The method also includes accessing, by the device, a first entry in lexicon data. The first entry includes core data corresponding to domain-independent lexical information for the base term. The method further includes adding, based on the analysis, non-core data to the first entry. The non-core data corresponds to domain-specific lexical information for the base term. The non-core data identifies the modifier term as a domain-specific modifier of the base term.
