Attribution using semantic analysis
First Claim
1. A method for semantic attribution of a request, said method implemented by a processor of a computer system, said method comprising:
- said processor receiving source data statements for the request;
said processor receiving a selection of a domain for the received source data statements;
said processor semantically analyzing the received source data statements, said semantically analyzing comprising matching elements in the received source data statements to respective one or more entries in an ontology associated with the selected domain, wherein the ontology comprises items and relationships that define the selected domain, and wherein each element in the received source data statements is a word or a phrase;
said processor assigning the one or more entries to the matched elements, respectively, to annotate each matched element with a respective annotation consisting of the respective one or more entries, wherein the annotation that annotates one matched element of the matched elements is a domain term that expresses that the one matched element is a noun defining a particular domain;
said processor saving the annotated elements with the respective annotations; and
said processor using the annotations to generate a search query for the request.

Abstract
A method and system for semantic attribution of a request. Source data statements for the request are received. A selection of a domain for the received source data statements is received. The received source data statements are semantically analyzed, which includes matching elements in the received source data statements to respective one or more entries in an ontology associated with the selected domain. The ontology includes items and relationships that define the selected domain. Each element in the received source data statements is a word or a phrase. The one or more entries are assigned to the matched elements, respectively, to annotate each matched element with a respective annotation consisting of the respective one or more entries. The annotated elements are saved with the respective annotations. The annotations are used to generate a search query for the request.

16. A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device having a computer readable program code stored therein, said program code configured to be executed by a processor of a computer system to implement a method for semantic attribution of a request, said method comprising:
-
said processor receiving source data statements for the request; said processor receiving a selection of a domain for the received source data statements; said processor semantically analyzing the received source data statements, said semantically analyzing comprising matching elements in the received source data statements to respective one or more entries in an ontology associated with the selected domain, wherein the ontology comprises items and relationships that define the selected domain, and wherein each element in the received source data statements is a word or a phrase; said processor assigning the one or more entries to the matched elements, respectively, to annotate each matched element with a respective annotation consisting of the respective one or more entries, wherein the annotation that annotates one matched element of the matched elements is a domain term that expresses that the one matched element is a noun defining a particular domain; said processor saving the annotated elements with the respective annotations; and said processor using the annotations to generate a search query for the request. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A computer system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, said storage device containing program code configured to be executed by the processor via the memory to implement a method for semantic attribution of a request, said method comprising:
-
said processor receiving source data statements for the request; said processor receiving a selection of a domain for the received source data statements; said processor semantically analyzing the received source data statements, said semantically analyzing comprising matching elements in the received source data statements to respective one or more entries in an ontology associated with the selected domain, wherein the ontology comprises items and relationships that define the selected domain, and wherein each element in the received source data statements is a word or a phrase; said processor assigning the one or more entries to the matched elements, respectively, to annotate each matched element with a respective annotation consisting of the respective one or more entries, wherein the annotation that annotates one matched element of the matched elements is a domain term that expresses that the one matched element is a noun defining a particular domain; said processor saving the annotated elements with the respective annotations; and said processor using the annotations to generate a search query for the request. - View Dependent Claims (19)
