Abstract: THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO A METHOD THAT USES A RECURSIVE MEANS TO CONDUCT A VISUAL QUERY GRAPHICALLY TO RETRIEVE INFORMATION FROM ONTOLOGIES. THE METHOD IS COMPRISED THE STEPS OF LOADING AN ONTOLOGY, FORMING A VISUAL QUERY GRAPH, CONVERTING THE VISUAL QUERY GRAPH INTO A RECURSIVE QUERY GRAPH BY USING A GRAPHICAL NOTATION, INTERPRETING THE RECURSIVE QUERY GRAPH AND CONVERTING THE RECURSIVE QUERY GRAPH INTO A RECURSIVE INTERNAL REPRESENTATION THAT ALLOWS RECURSION, RETRIEVING QUERY RESULTS FROM THE INTERNAL REPRESENTATION; AND VISUALIZING THE RESULTS. THE PRESENT INVENTION IS ALSO RELATED TO A SYSTEM 100 THAT USES A RECURSIVE MEANS TO CONDUCT A VISUAL QUERY GRAPHICALLY TO RETRIEVE INFORMATION FROM ONTOLOGIES. THE SYSTEM 100 IS COMPRISED OF AN ONTOLOGY LOADER 10, A RECURSIVE QUERY CONSTRUCTOR COMPONENT (20) FOR FORMING A VISUAL QUERY GRAPH AND FOR CONVERTING THE VISUAL QUERY GRAPH INTO A RECURSIVE QUERY GRAPH BY USING A GRAPHICAL NOTATION, A RECURSIVE GRAPHICAL QUERY LANGUAGE INTERPRETER COMPONENT 30 FOR INTERPRETING THE RECURSIVE QUERY GRAPH AND FOR CONVERTING THE RECURSIVE QUERY GRAPH INTO A RECURSIVE INTERNAL REPRESENTATION THAT ALLOWS RECURSION, AND A RESULTS VISUALIZER 50.
