AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS OF REPOSITORY STRUCTURE TO FACILITATE NATURAL LANGUAGE QUERIES

摘要

Techniques for analyzing a repository are described herein. A method for analyzing a repository may include obtaining a list of known persons in a repository based on objects, users, and groups retrieved from the repository. The method may further select one of the objects having a field and a value, and then determine whether the field of the selected object is a facet based on a probability that the field of the selected object has a limited number of possible values. In analyzing the repository, a repository information archive may be generated. The repository information archive may include the relationship between the selected object and at least one other object, statistics and counts related to properties in the selected objects, and whether or not the field of the selected object is a facet.

1. A method for analyzing a repository, comprising:
obtaining a list of known persons in a repository based on objects, users, and groups retrieved from the repository; selecting one of the objects having a field and a value; determining whether the field of the selected object is searchable, contains special values, or is a facet, where the field is defined as a facet based on a probability that the field of the selected object has a limited number of possible values; counting a number of documents to contain a property for each property retrieved from a repository; and generating a repository information archive to comprise:
a persons matrix;the relationship between the selected object and at least one other object;statistics and counts related to properties in the selected objects; andwhether or not the field of the selected object is a facet and a distribution of values in a facet.
