Fractal semantic network generator
First Claim
1. A method which processes an input string to generate a fractal semantic network, the method comprising the steps of:
- parsing said input string to generate an initial parse structure comprising a plurality of parse elements;
generating semantic units from some of said parse elements by employing a set of mapping rules which maps certain types of said parse elements into said semantic units, whereby some of said semantic units are information objects and some are connection objects; and
generating said fractal semantic network by arranging said information objects and said connection objects in a fractal manner, where the relation between said information objects is represented by said connection objects, whereby said information objects and said connection objects are derived from a small set of basic building blocks.

Abstract
A method, system, and a program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for processing an input string to generate a fractal semantic network. The fractal semantic network is obtained by parsing the input string to generate an initial parse structure which comprises a plurality of parse elements. Semantic units are generated from some of the parse elements by employing a set of mapping rules for mapping certain types of parse elements into the semantic units such that some of the semantic units are information objects and some are connection objects. The fractal semantic network is generated by arranging the information objects and connection objects in a fractal manner, where the relation between the information objects is represented by the connection objects. The information objects and the connection objects are derived from a small set of basic building blocks.

20. A system which processes an input string to generate a fractal semantic network, the system comprising:
-
a parser which processes said input string to generate an initial parse structure comprising a plurality of parse elements; and
a processing module which converts said initial parse structure into said fractal semantic network, wherein processing module components generate self-similar information objects from some of said parse elements by employing a first set of mapping rules for mapping certain types of parse elements into said information objects, generate self-similar connection objects from some of the parse elements by employing a second set of mapping rules for mapping certain types of parse elements into said connection objects, and arrange said information objects and said connection objects in a fractal manner according to the relation between the respective information objects and connection objects, where the relation between the information objects is represented by the connection objects, whereby the information objects and the connection objects are derived from a small set of basic building blocks. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
