<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for removal of ambiguity of orthographies and search between orthographies in complicated languages such as Japanese. <P>SOLUTION: For example, each concept may be associated with at least one keyword (as well as any synonyms or variant forms) by applying one ore more rules that relate to identifying common main forms, script variants, alternative grammatical forms, phonetic variants, proper noun variants, numerical variants, scientific name, cultural relevance, etc. Then the contents of a vocabulary knowledge base are used in executing search queries. A user may enter a search query in which keywords (or synonyms associated with those keywords) may be identified, along with various stop words that facilitate segmentation of the search query and other actions. Execution of the search query may result in a list of assets or similar indications being returned, which relate to concepts identified within the search query. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
