20090144295APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSOCIATING UNSTRUCTURED TEXT WITH STRUCTURED DATA - A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to receive a semantic abstraction describing at least one underlying data source. The semantic abstraction includes at least one dimension with at least one dimension value. Unstructured text is parsed into parsed text units. A dimension value is matched to a parsed text unit to form matched content. An indication of the matched content is stored.06-04-2009
20100094843ASSOCIATION OF SEMANTIC OBJECTS WITH LINGUISTIC ENTITY CATEGORIES - A system includes determination of a name of a semantic object associated with a semantic layer, determination of a linguistic entity category associated with the name, and storage, in association with the semantic layer, of an association between the semantic object and the linguistic entity category. Also included may be determination of a plurality of values associated with the semantic object, and creation of a custom linguistic entity category associated with the semantic object and comprising a plurality of entities, wherein each of the plurality of entities corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of values.04-15-2010
20100094844DEDUCTION OF ANALYTIC CONTEXT BASED ON TEXT AND SEMANTIC LAYER - A system includes reception of text, extraction of a plurality of linguistic entities and associated linguistic entity categories based on the text; determination of one or more semantic objects of a semantic layer based on the linguistic entity categories, and generation of a query of the semantic layer based on the plurality of linguistic entities, the associated linguistic entity categories, and the one or more semantic objects. In some aspects, extraction of the plurality of linguistic entities includes identification of the plurality of linguistic entities from a plurality of semantic object-independent linguistic entity categories and a plurality of semantic object-dependent linguistic entity categories, wherein the plurality of semantic object-dependent linguistic entity categories are associated with the semantic layer, and wherein each of the plurality of semantic object-dependent linguistic entity categories is associated with a respective semantic object of the semantic layer and each entity of each semantic object-dependent linguistic entity category is associated with a value of its respective semantic object.04-15-2010
20100287185GENERATION OF LOGICAL DATABASE SCHEMA REPRESENTATION BASED ON SYMBOLIC BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE QUERY - A system to query a database based on a logical schema of the database and an abstraction of the logical database schema, the abstraction including a plurality of objects and one or more properties associating one or more of the plurality of objects to one or more others of the plurality of objects. The system includes reception of a query including a first plurality of objects of the abstraction, a first one or more properties associating one of the first plurality of objects with another one of the plurality of objects, and two or more instances of a first one of the first plurality of objects. A dynamic representation of the logical database schema is modified to include an alias of the first one of the plurality of objects, the query is modified to include the alias, one or more functional dependencies of the abstraction to be enforced are determined based on the modified query, the modified dynamic representation of the logical database schema is edited based on the determined one or more functional dependencies, and a database query is generated based on the modified query and the edited dynamic representation.11-11-2010
20100287223FUNCTIONALLY-DEPENDENT ANALYSIS OBJECTS - A system may include a database of physical data tables, a logical database schema of logical entities associated with the physical data tables, and an abstraction layer comprising a plurality of dimension objects mapped to the logical entities, at least one of the plurality of dimension objects comprising one or more properties associating the at least one of the plurality of dimension objects to one or more others of the plurality of dimension objects.11-11-2010

20100121837Apparatus and Method for Utilizing Context to Resolve Ambiguous Queries - A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to derive from a database schema an irreducible ambiguous group comprising a sub-schema with a set of vertices wherein any two vertices are part of a loop. Contexts are defined on the sub-schema. For each context, joins in the sub-schema are designated as mandatory joins, excluded joins and neutral joins. A selection of a context from multiple contexts invoked by a path characterizing a query is processed. The query is resolved using the context.05-13-2010
20100161651Apparatus and Method for Processing Queries Using Oriented Query Paths - A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to specify a set of database tables defining vertices and database joins defining oriented edges to form a graph. The oriented edges specify directionality characterizing dependent relationships between database tables. A query path in the graph is identified. The graph is split into a set of directed acyclic graphs. Each directed acyclic graph has a single root vertex that does not form a path to itself through oriented edges. Selected oriented edges are removed from each directed acyclic graph to form a tree corresponding to each directed acyclic graph. The tree is a sub-graph of a directed acyclic graph without loops and one list of joins relates any two database tables in the tree. A database query is generated for each tree. The database query is applied to database tables to form query results. The query results are displayed.06-24-2010
