Syntactico-Semantic Interpretation of Natural Language Queries on a Medical Ontology

Nowadays, one of crucial problems of the Semantic Web is to offer a simple and convenient access to knowledge bases and ontologies. Advances in semantic search have been delayed because of the complexity of nRQL like query languages, as well as the ambiguities of the Natural Language (NL). To go beyond these difficulties, we propose an approach that aims to support mechanisms and techniques for analyzing and processing a natural language query. As result, we obtain an intermediate representation in description logics, easy to be interpreted in any query language oriented information retrieval, as nRQL. This system is composed of four basic modules that provide a sequential processing of the query expressed in NL until the expected results.
