Conceptual Graphs for a Data Base Interface
نویسنده
چکیده
A data base system that supports natural language queries is not really natural if it requires the user to know how the data are represented. This paper defines a formalism, called conceptual graphs, that can describe data according to the user’s view and access data according to the system’s view. In addition, the graphs can represent functional dependencies in the data base and support inferences and computations that are not explicit in the initial query.

Managing Large Databases of Complex Medical Knowledge Using Conceptual Graphs
A number of groups around the world are independently working on natural language interfaces (some multilingual) to sources of information such as progress notes, patient discharge summaries, radiology reports, digestive surgery discharge summaries, bone scintigraphy, slit lamp examination of the eye, and echocardiography. Each of these groups is using Conceptual Graphs as their universal medic...
متن کاملCompiling Conceptual Graphs
| This paper addresses problems in conceptual graph implementation: subsumption and classiication in a taxon-omy. Conceptual graphs are typically stored using a directed acyclic graph data structure based on the partial order over conceptual graphs. We give an improved algorithm for classifying conceptual graphs into this hierarchy. This algorithm prunes the search space in the database using t...
متن کاملGrip | Peirce Graphical Interface Subgroup 1.2 Products
A major advantage of conceptual graphs is their ease of use particularly in the graphical form. The goals of the graphical interface subgroup is the creation of a document providing general guidelines for the implementation of such an interface and the creation of one (or more) implementations conforming to those guidelines. Furthermore, members of the group plan to make available a suit e of o...
متن کاملCombining conceptual graphs and argumentation for aiding in the teleexpertise
Current medical information systems are too complex to be meaningfully exploited. Hence there is a need to develop new strategies for maximising the exploitation of medical data to the benefit of medical professionals. It is against this backdrop that we want to propose a tangible contribution by providing a tool which combines conceptual graphs and Dung׳s argumentation system in order to assis...
متن کاملTowards Building Active Knowledge Systems With Conceptual Graphs
This paper outlines a vision for using conceptual graphs to build active knowledge systems that have the capability to solve practical and complex problems. A key ingredient in an active knowledge system is its ability to interact (not just interface) with the real world. Basic features of such systems go beyond logic to include support for data mining, intelligent agents, temporal actors, acti...
