ABSTRACT
As more and more RDF data becomes available, such as DBpedia, Yago and Freebase, it is desired to provide users with simple interfaces to access the datasets. Although the SPARQL query language is a standard way to query RDF data, it remains tedious and difficult even for expert users because of the formality of the language and the complexity of the underlying schema of RDF data. An ideal system should allow users to express queries in their own languages. In this work, we propose a methodology to translate natural language questions into SPARQL queries, which can be answered by existing RDF engines and fulfill users? information need.

A Semantic Similarity-based Subgraph Matching Method for Improving Question Answering over RDF
WWW '20: Companion Proceedings of the Web Conference 2020RDF question/answering (Q/A) system can explore RDF data by translating natural language questions into SPARQL queries. In this poster, we design a generation-and-ranking approach to translate natural language questions into SPARQL queries based on ...
RDF, Jena, SparQL and the 'Semantic Web'
SIGUCCS '09: Proceedings of the 37th annual ACM SIGUCCS fall conference: communication and collaborationThe Resource Description Format (RDF) is used to represent information modeled as a "graph": a set of individual objects, along with a set of connections among those objects. In that role, RDF is one of the pillars of the so-called Semantic Web. This ...
Semantic question answering on big data
SBD '16: Proceedings of the International Workshop on Semantic Big DataThis article describes a high-precision semantic question answering (SQA) engine for large datasets. We employ an RDF store to index the semantic information extracted from large document collections and a natural language to SPARQL conversion module to ...
