Natural Language Access to Relational Databases through STEP
This paper introduces the STEP system for natural language access to relational databases. In STEP the administrator couples phrasal patterns to elementary expressions within a decidable fragment of tuple relational calculus. This phrasal lexicon serves as a bi-directional grammar, enabling the generation of natural language from tuple relational calculus and the inverse parsing of natural lang...
متن کاملNatural Language Updates to Databases Through Dialogue
This paper reopens the long dormant topic of natural language updates to databases. A protocol to handle database updates of the IDM (Insert-Delete-Modify) class is proposed and implemented. This protocol exploits modern relational update facilities and constraints and structures update dialogues using DAMSL dialogue acts. The protocol may be used with any natural language parser that maps to r...
متن کاملNatural-Language Access to Databases-Theoretical/Technical Issues
Although there have been many experimental systems for natural-language access to databases, with some now going into actual use, many problems in this area remain to be solved. The purpose of this panel is to put some of those problems before the conference. The panel's motivation stems partly from the fact that, too often in the past, discussion of natural-language access to databases has foc...
متن کاملTheoretical/Technical Issues in Natural Language Access to Databases
In responding to the guidelines established by the session chairman of this panel, three of the five topics he set forth will be discussed. These include aggregate functions and quantity questions, querying semantically complex fields, and multi-file queries. As we will make clear in the sequel, the transformational apparatus utilized in the TQA Question Answering System provides a principled b...
متن کاملUnifying Access to Heterogeneous Document Databases Through Contextual Metadata
Document databases available on the Internet carry massive information resources. To a person needing a piece of information on a specific domain, finding the piece, however, is often quite problematic even though there were a representative collection of databases available on the domain. The languages used in the content, the names of document types, their structures, the ways documents are o...
