Abstract
Techniques for simplifying querying of ontologies. In one embodiment, one or more queries for querying an ontology are automatically generated in a language suitable for querying the ontology. A user may enter a query in a simple language such as a natural language query. In response, one or more queries capable of querying the ontology are automatically generated in a second language. The automatically generated queries may, for example, be in SPARQL or PL/SQL. The one or more automatically generated queries may then be used to query one or more ontologies.
