Abstract

One embodiment includes a computer implemented method of storing information. The method includes implementing, by a document repository server computer, a schema-flexible database. The method further includes receiving, by the document repository server computer, processed text information from a text analysis computer, wherein a semantic type is assigned to the processed text information. The method further includes storing, by the document repository server computer, the processed text information in the schema-flexible database. The method further includes outputting, by the document repository server computer to an analysis computer, data selected from the processed text information stored in the schema-flexible database in response to a query received from the analysis computer.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method of storing information, comprising:

implementing, by a document repository server computer, a schema-flexible database;

receiving, by the document repository server computer, processed text information from a text analysis computer, wherein a semantic type is assigned to the processed text information;

storing, by the document repository server computer, the processed text information in the schema-flexible database; and

outputting, by the document repository server computer to an analysis computer, data selected from the processed text information stored in the schema-flexible database in response to a query received from the analysis computer.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

outputting, by the document repository server computer to an exploration computer, second data selected from the processed text information stored in the schema-flexible database in response to a second query received from the exploration computer.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the processed text information includes a plurality of interrelated entities.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the processed text information includes a plurality of interrelated entities, wherein the plurality of interrelated entities are other than key-value pairs.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the processed text information includes a plurality of interrelated entities, wherein an entity includes a plurality of attributes and a plurality of associations.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the processed text information differs from document-oriented data.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the schema-flexible database differs from a document-oriented database.

8. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the schema-flexible database differs from a graph-oriented database.

9. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the semantic type includes an item class, and attribute type, and a relationship type.

10. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

mapping, by the document repository server computer, the processed text information into the schema-flexible database according to a generic vertical schema.

11. A system for storing information, comprising:

a text analysis computer that is configured to generate processed text information; and

a document repository server computer that is configured to implement a schema-flexible database, to receive the processed text information having a semantic type assigned thereto, to store the processed text information in the schema-flexible database, and to output data selected from the processed text information stored in the schema-flexible database in response to a query.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the document repository server computer comprises:

a server layer that is configured to control the document repository server computer to receive the processed text information having the semantic type assigned thereto and to output the data selected from the processed text information stored in the schema-flexible database in response to the query; and

a storage layer that is configured to control the document repository server computer to implement the schema-flexible database and to store the processed text information in the schema-flexible database.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the server layer comprises:

a parser program that is configured to control the document repository server computer to parse the query;

an active computation manager program that is configured to control the document repository server computer to process the query; and

a data store program that is configured to control the document repository server computer to store the data.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for controlling a document repository server computer to execute processing comprising:

implementing, by the document repository server computer, a schema-flexible database;

receiving, by the document repository server computer, processed text information from a text analysis computer, wherein a semantic type is assigned to the processed text information;

storing, by the document repository server computer, the processed text information in the schema-flexible database; and

outputting, by the document repository server computer to an analysis computer, data selected from the processed text information stored in the schema-flexible database in response to a query received from the analysis computer.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, further comprising:

outputting, by the document repository server computer to an exploration computer, second data selected from the processed text information stored in the schema-flexible database in response to a second query received from the exploration computer.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the processed text information includes a plurality of interrelated entities, wherein the plurality of interrelated entities are other than key-value pairs.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the processed text information includes a plurality of interrelated entities, wherein an entity includes a plurality of attributes and a plurality of associations.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the processed text information differs from document-oriented data.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the schema-flexible database differs from a document-oriented database.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the schema-flexible database differs from a graph-oriented database.
