Apparatus and method for deterministically constructing a text question for application to a data source

摘要

A computer readable medium stores executable instructions to deterministically construct a text question for application to a data source. The executable instructions include executable instructions supply a user with an initial text question. The user is allowed to alter a sentence component of the initial text question to form an altered sentence component. It is identified when the altered sentence component in combination with remaining sentence components creates a grammatically incorrect question. A grammatically correct text question including the altered sentence component is supplied in response to the executable instructions to identify. A data source query is constructed from the grammatically correct text question. The data source query is applied to a data source to produce data results. The data results are presented to the user.
