Summary: | A digital device and a method for parsing a query, in particular a natural language query, and retrieving results from possibly multiple data sources such as relational databases or the Semantic Web. The method includes a parsing procedure for generating a graph-based logical representation of the query using semantically structured resources, consisting of a tokenizer, a node generator, a relationship generator, and a focus identificator. The digital device realizes a modularized architecture, consisting of a parser enabling the processing of a query with possibly multiple vocabularies, a query performer retrieving data of knowledge sources independently from their database management system, and a result processor merging the results. |
