Abstract

Our purpose is to hide the complexity of formulating a query expressed in a graph query language such as SPARQL. We propose a mechanism allowing queries to be expressed in a very simple pivot language, mainly composed of keywords and relations between keywords. Our system associates the keywords with the corresponding elements of the ontology (classes, relations, instances). Then it selects pre-written query patterns, and instanciates them with regard to the keywords of the initial query. Several possible queries are generated, ranked and then shown to the user. These queries are presented by means of natural language sentences. The user then selects the query he/she is interested in and the SPARQL query is built.
