Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention This invention relates to field of information retrieval techniques, in particular to the English language translation of exact interpretations of keyword queries. Description of Background Before our invention keyword searching was the most important paradigm for Information Retrieval (IR). Conventionally, an Avatar Semantic Search was accomplished by generating precise queries from a keyword query that was based upon a domain-specific system type. For a given keyword query, several possible interpretations of the keyword query may be produced within a search. Semantic optimizers using semantic knowledge and heuristics operate to prune keyword query interpretations, wherein the remaining keyword query interpretations are utilized to assist in the keyword search. In structure, keyword query interpretations are X-Path expressions, thus displaying the keyword query interpretations directly to a user is of little value since the interpretations cannot be easily understood and reviewed by the user. Therefore, there exists a need for an approach for displaying plain-language interpretations of X-Path expressions for review to the initiator of an Avatar Semantic Search. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAspects of the present invention relate to a methodology for the translation of exact interpretations of keyword queries into meaningful and grammatically correct plain-language queries in order to convey the meaning of these interpretations to the initiator of the keyword search. The shortcomings of the prior art are overcome and additional advantages are provided through the provision of a method for translating an interpretation of a keyword query into a grammatically correct plain-language query, the method comprising the steps of acquiring at least one keyword to perform a keyword query search upon, semantically interpreting the acquired keyword, further including the step of building a translation index to determine matching elements, wherein matching elements are derived from information comprising type names, attribute names, and atomic attributes values that are associated with a specific keyword. The method further comprises the steps of merging the matching elements in the event that differing keywords comprise the same matching element and type alias, providing a clause template for the customization of a plain-language sentence clause, wherein the plain-language sentence clause is based upon the matching elements that are selected for customization, and generating at least one plain-language sentence clause, and determining if the plain-language sentence clauses can be merged, wherein the determination is based upon the matches on the attribute paths for a given type element. Further, the method comprises the steps of specifying the plain-language sentence clauses that are to be merged, the plain-language sentence clause mergers being based on the attribute paths for a given matching type element, and merging the plain-language sentence clauses. Further, the method comprises a language for specifying custom templates for generating clauses and sentences. Yet further, the method comprises the steps of generating at least one grammatically valid plain-language sentence interpretation for the keyword query from the generated sentence plain-language sentence clauses, wherein the grammatically valid plain-language sentence is based upon differing matching elements, and presenting at least one grammatically valid plain-language sentence interpretation for the keyword query to a keyword query system user for the user's review. System and computer program products corresponding to the above-summarized methods are also described and claimed herein. Additional features and advantages are realized through the techniques of the present invention. Other embodiments and aspects of the invention are described in detail herein and are considered a part of the claimed invention. For a better understanding of the invention with advantages and features, refer to the description and to the drawings. As a result of the summarized invention, technically we have achieved a solution that assists in the translation of interpretations of keyword queries into meaningful and grammatically correct plain-language queries, the meaning of these interpretations thereafter being displayed to the initiator of the search. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSThe matter that is regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 illustrates one example of a flow diagram illustrating aspects of the methodology that relates to the present invention. FIG. 2 illustrates one example of a flow diagram detailing aspects of a clause merge operation.
