Abstract
A system and method for using semantic understanding in storing and searching data and other information. A linearized tuple-based version of a conceptual graph can be created from a user input. A plurality of conceptual graphs, or portions thereof, can be compared to determine matches. An associative database can be created and/or searched using a hierarchy of conceptual graphs in tuple format, so that the data storage and searching of such database is optimized. The associative database can be used to integrate data from multiple different sources; form part of an Internet or other search engine; or used in other implementations. Also disclosed herein is a system and method for use of semantic understanding in searching and providing of content is described herein. In accordance with an embodiment, the system comprises a Syntactic Parser (SP) or statistical word tokenizer for data retrieval and parsing; a Syntax To Semantics (STS) transformational algebra-based semantic rule set, and an Associative Database (ADB) of linearized tuple conceptual graphs (TCG), utilizing a conceptual graph formalism. Data can be represented within the ADB, enabling both fast data retrieval in the for…
