<p>The present invention relates to a semantic query system (100) and a method for processing a query. The semantic query system (100) comprises of a query manager (110), a context identifier (120), a question generator (130), a query mapper (140), a ranking component (150) and a query processor (160). When the semantic query system (100) receives a query, the context identifier (120) identifies all contexts related to the query. Thereon, the question generator (130) generates candidate questions based on the contexts. The query mapper (140) maps the query to the candidate questions by performing a syntactic analysis and a social network analysis on the candidate questions with respect to the query. The ranking component (150) produces a list of ranked candidate questions. Based on the list, the query processor (160) retrieves and ranks relevant information which is displayed as the query results.</p> |
