Abstract
In the present invention, a textual document is syntactically analyzed and knowledge is constructed from a single word or plural words. The knowledge is then marked, from the broken down knowledge (represented by the underscores in FIG. 1) or from a part-of-speech, as a related object (node) or a relation (edge) (represented by ‘n’ or ‘e’ shown in FIG. 1). In other words, in the present invention a textual document is treated as knowledge constructed from a single word or plural words. The knowledge extracted from the textual document is structured to form a knowledge structure (such as a graph structure constituted from nodes and edges). At least one link can be established between each of the knowledge structure elements and a semantically closest concept entry in a hierarchical concept dictionary.
