Abstract

A computer implemented method for identifying ontological hypertext and pre-fetching and presenting the target information may include receiving an original query by a database server. The method may also include searching the database server to locate an ontological mapping record. The ontological mapping record may represent an association between information responsive to the original query and related information associated by ontological hypertext. The method may further include presenting information responsive to the original query and the related information.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method for identifying ontological hypertext and pre-fetching and presenting the target information, comprising:

receiving an original query by a database server;

searching the database server to locate an ontological mapping record, wherein the ontological mapping record represents an association between information responsive to the original query and related information associated by ontological hypertext; and

presenting information responsive to the original query and the related information.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising searching the database server to identify the ontological hypertext.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 2, further comprising validating any target ontologies and other knowledge entities associated with the related information.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising automatically constructing an associated query based on an equivalent condition defined in the ontological mapping record to identify ontological information corresponding to the related information.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 4, further comprising pre-fetching the ontological information based on the ontological hypertext.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 5, further comprising storing the ontological information on the database server.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 6, further comprising providing an option for presentation of the ontological information and the related information.

8. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising performing the method on a hybrid database server.

9. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising using the ontological mapping record to retrieve the related information in other tables stored on the database server associated with the information responsive to the original query on a first table.

10. A system for identifying ontological hypertext and pre-fetching and presenting the target information, comprising:

a database server;

a module on the database server to search the database server to identify ontological hypertext, wherein the ontological hypertext associates information responsive to an original query received by the database server to ontological information, the ontological information being information related to the information responsive to the original query; and

a module on the database server to send the information responsive to the original query and the ontological information to a requester that sent the original query.

11. The system of claim 10, further comprising a module to automatically construct another query based on a user equivalent condition to identify the ontological information and to generate an ontological mapping record of the ontological information to permit retrieval of the ontological information.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising a module to search the database server to locate the ontological mapping record for retrieval of the ontological information.

14. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

a module to pre-fetch the ontological information based on the ontological hypertext; and

a database to store the ontological information on the database server.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the database server comprises a plurality of tables, wherein a first table contains information responsive to the original query and the ontological mapping record is used to retrieve the ontological information in other tables from the first table.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the database server comprises a hybrid database server.

13. The system of 12, further comprising a module to validate any target ontological information and other knowledge entities related to the information responsive to the original query.

17. A computer program product for identifying ontological hypertext and pre-fetching and presenting the target information, the computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising;

computer readable program code configured to receive an original query by a database server;

computer readable program code configured to search the database server to locate an ontological mapping record, wherein the ontological mapping record represents an association between information responsive to the original query and related information associated by ontological hypertext; and

computer readable program code configured to present information responsive to the original query and the related information.

18. The computer program product of claim 17, further comprising computer readable program code configured to search the database server to identify the ontological hypertext.

19. The computer program product of claim 17, further comprising:

computer readable program code configured to automatically construct another query based on a user defined equivalent condition to identify ontological information corresponding to the related information;

computer readable program code configured to pre-fetch the ontological information based on the ontological hypertext; and

computer readable program code configured to store the ontological information on the database server.

20. The computer program product of claim 17, further comprising computer readable program code configured to use the ontological mapping record to retrieve the related information in other tables stored on the database server associated with the information responsive to the original query on a first table.
