Abstract

The BANKS system enables keyword-based search on databases, together with data and schema browsing. BANKS enables users to extract information in a simple manner without any knowledge of the schema or any need for writing complex queries. A user can get information by typing a few keywords, following hyperlinks, and interacting with controls on the displayed results. Extensive support for answer ranking forms a critical part of the BANKS system.
