Abstract

A method for providing cognitive insights via a cognitive information processing system comprising: receiving data from a plurality of data sources; receiving and processing queries; and, bridging the queries into a cognitive graph.

Claims

1. A method for providing cognitive insights via a cognitive information processing system comprising:

receiving data from a plurality of data sources;

receiving and processing queries; and

,

bridging the queries into a cognitive graph.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

supporting natural language queries.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

converting processed queries into a cognitive graph form, the cognitive graph form enabling querying of a target cognitive graph.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

bridging a translated query to a cognitive graph and providing domain-specific responses.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

interpreting requests and user context and mapping the requests and user context to an appropriate node and line within the cognitive graph.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein

the plurality of data sources comprise platform data;

and,

the enrichment agent communicates with the platform data.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein

the platform data comprises a plurality of data sets;

and,

the bridging agent communicates with the plurality of datasets within the platform data.
