1. A method for linguistic pattern recognition of information, comprising the steps of:
- (a) retrieving textual information from a data source utilizing a network;
(b) segmenting the textual information into a plurality of phrases;
(c) scanning each phrase for patterns of interest;
(d) building a corresponding event structure for each pattern of interest found; and
(e) merging event structures that provide information about essentially the same incident, wherein the merged event structures are stored in an information cache based on concept-based storage for later retrieval based on concept.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for linguistic pattern recognition of information. Initially, textual information is retrieved from a data source utilizing a network. The textual information is then segmented into a plurality of phrases, which are then scanned for patterns of interest. For each pattern of interest found a corresponding event structure is built. Event structures that provide information about essentially the same incident are then merged.
