Natural Language Query Processing in Korean Interface for Object-Oriented Databases.
Jinseok Chae, Sukho Lee · 1995
A natural language query interface provides database retrieval facilities as an effective means for encouraging novice users to access computer database systems. This paper describes a natural language query processing technique in Korean interface for object-oriented databases which have recently started to emerge as the nextgeneration databases. This interface transforms Korean natural language queries into query graphs used in object-oriented data model. A decomposition method is developed to manipulate the natural language representations of path expressions and a frame structure is adopted to represent the knowledge of the transformation process. 1 Introduction Database management systems provide user-friendly interfaces such as Query-ByExample (QBE), Structured Query Language (SQL), or interfaces using visual languages in order to help end users retrieve their desired information. However, it is 1 difficult for novice users to formulate correct and complete database queries. W...
