Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system, and article of manufacture for querying and integrating structured and unstructured data. The method includes: receiving entity information that is extracted from a first set of unstructured data using an open domain information extraction system, wherein the entity in-formation comprises relationship information between a first entity and a second entity of the first set of unstructured data; recognizing a pattern based on the relationship information and creating a schema for the first set of unstructured data based on the pattern; and associating an element of the created schema with (i) an entity of a second set of unstructured data or (ii) a schema element of an existing set of structured data if there is sufficient overall similarity between the created schema element and either the second unstructured data entity or the schema element of the existing structured data.
