STRUCTURED AND UNSTRUCTURED DATA MODELS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system that facilitates generic content data model construction and data navigation, comprising:
- an interface component that acquires data from a source; and
a generation component that automatically generates from the data a generic content data model that classifies content at multiple conceptual levels to afford a structured view of at least one of structured or unstructured data to facilitate navigation of the data, wherein the structured data includes semantic structure, absent from the unstructured data, that defines meaning and relations amongst data entities.

Abstract
Structured and/or unstructured data is processed with the aid of a data model. The data model provides a conceptual description of source content that can be generated or otherwise modified automatically as a function of data, models, and/or structure associated with the data. Both structured and unstructured data can be viewed in terms of high-level content rather than a lower level physical model. Among other things, this view can be employed to aid search as well as data sharing.

10. A query processing method, comprising:
-
processing an acquired query over unstructured data; obtaining a content data model related to the unstructured data that defines conceptual classifications of data at various levels of granularity; and returning query results in an organized manner in accordance with the data model, wherein the model provides a mediating taxonomy that facilitates location of pertinent information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20)
