1. A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of attributes associated with a concept type of a query conceptual graph stored in a computer-readable medium;
receiving a potentially conceptually similar term from an onomasticon corresponding to the concept type; and
validating, by an apparatus, the potentially conceptually similar term according to the plurality of attributes, the validating comprising;
determining, from the received attributes, a percentage of the received attributes that map to the potentially conceptually similar term;
determining that the potentially conceptually similar term is conceptually similar to the concept type if the determined percentage is equal to or greater than a predetermined percentage; and
determining that the potentially conceptually similar term is not conceptually similar to the concept type if the determined percentage is less than the predetermined percentage.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, attributes associated with a concept type of a query conceptual graph are received. A potentially conceptually similar term is received from an onomasticon. The potentially conceptually similar term is validated according to the attributes. According to another embodiment, attributes associated with a concept type of a document conceptual graph are received. A potentially conceptually similar term is received from an onomasticon. The potentially conceptually similar term is validated according to the attributes.

5. A computer-readable non-transitory medium having computer-executable instructions, when executed by a computer configured to:
-
receive a plurality of attributes associated with a concept type of a query conceptual graph; receive a potentially conceptually similar term from an onomasticon corresponding to the concept type; and validate the potentially conceptually similar term according to the plurality of attributes, the validating comprising; determining, from the received attributes, a percentage of the received attributes that map to the potentially conceptually similar term; determining that the potentially conceptually similar term is conceptually similar to the concept type if the determined percentage is equal to or greater than a predetermined percentage; and determining that the potentially conceptually similar term is not conceptually similar to the concept type if the determined percentage is less than the predetermined percentage. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
