Developing Database Semantics as a Computational Model
Ki Yong Lee · Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB) · 2000
Both Hausser [1] and Lee [2][3] proposed Database Semantics as a computational model for natural language semantics that makes use of a database management system, DBMS. As an extension of these efforts, this paper aims at dealing with ways of representing linguistic descriptions in table forms because all the data in a relational model of DBMS is conceived of being stored in table forms. It is claimed here that, if an algorithm can be developed for converting linguistic representations like trees, logical formulas, and attribute-value matrices into table forms, many available tools for natural language processing can be efficiently utilized as part of interface or application programs for a relational database management system, RDBMS. 1.
