Linguistic object model
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A linguistic object model that is encoded on a computer-readable medium and is adapted to be utilized by a computer to model semantic elements of a natural language, the linguistic object model comprising:
- a set of types for modeling semantics of natural language, the set of types being independent of any particular natural language, and wherein the set of types further comprises a Denoter type for modeling user-defined categories of input strings, and wherein a data member describing the Denoter comprises a record of which user-defined category of input strings in a Denoter object of type Denoter is filled at runtime by an analysis engine to fulfill a match between a type of the set of types and an element of a natural language utterance.

Abstract
A linguistic object model is adapted to model semantic elements of a natural language. The linguistic object model includes a set of abstract representations of semantic elements of an utterance. Each abstract representation in the set corresponds to a natural language type that is independent of any particular language.

16. A linguistic object model that is encoded on a computer-readable medium and is adapted to be utilized by a computer to model semantic elements of a natural language, the linguistic object model comprising:
a set of types representative of elements of natural language utterances, each type corresponding to semantically meaningful elements of an utterance, and wherein the set of types further comprises a Denoter type for modeling user-defined categories of input strings, and wherein a data member describing the Denoter comprises a record of which user-defined category of input strings in a Denoter object of type Denoter is filled at runtime by an analysis engine to fulfill a match between a type of the set of types and an element of a natural language utterance. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A computer-implemented method of modeling natural language comprising:
-
categorizing linguistic expressions into classes corresponding to elements of an utterance; and deriving a set of types adapted to represent those classes as abstract objects, wherein the set of types further comprises a Denoter type for modeling user-defined categories of input strings, and wherein a data member describing the Denoter comprises a record of which user-defined category of input strings in a Denoter object of type Denoter is filled at runtime by an analysis engine to fulfill a match between a type of the set of types and an element of a natural language utterance. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A computer readable medium storing computer readable data structures that are adapted to be utilized by a computer to model natural language, comprising:
a linguistic object model comprising a set of types for modeling semantics of natural language, the set of types being independent of any particular application, and wherein the set of types further comprises a Denoter type for modeling user-defined categories of input strings, and wherein a data member describing the Denoter comprises a record of which user-defined category of input strings in a Denoter object of type Denoter is filled at runtime by an analysis engine to fulfill a match between a type of the set of types and an element of a natural language utterance. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
