Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for carrying out interactive dialog in natural language using an ontology are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes generating one or more domain-driven interpretations of a natural language dialogue query provided by a user via utilization of a web ontology language; determining multiple structured base queries, from among a stored collection of structured queries, that correspond to the natural language dialogue query, in view of the one or more generated domain-driven interpretations; selecting one of the multiple determined structured base queries, based on one or more items of context information pertaining to the dialogue; automatically generating a response to the selected structured base query; and outputting the generated response to the user.
