Abstract
A particular method includes automatically generating, at a processor of a computing device, annotation data indicating that a column of a data table corresponds to a particular class of an ontology. The method also includes storing the annotation data. The method further includes receiving a natural language query. The method also includes generating a second query based on detecting a match between at least one term of the natural language query and the annotation data. The method further includes determining a response to the second query. The method also includes outputting the response to the second query as a response to the natural language query.
