Abstract

In a multidimensional conceptual reference, a dictionary of words is created, each conceptual word of at least one portion of the text to be stored is compared to those of the dictionary to determine the position of this word in said reference, and the resultant (T1) of the positions of all the conceptual words of the text portion to be stored is determined in order to determine the position of a global conceptualization of the text portion in said reference and to store this position. The position in a multidimensional conceptual reference of a global conceptualization of the question is determined, and the position of the global conceptualization of the question is compared to the homologous positions of the stored texts, in order to select at least one of them, corresponding to a searched text.
