Method for selecting objects from database, comprises calculation of semantic distances between definition and request parameters, calculation of global semantic distance and object selection

摘要

The method uses a stage for the determination of semantic distance between request and definition parameters (10) and a stage for interpreting requests (20) with a facility to understand natural language (22). A cumulative global semantic distance is determined (30) and objects are selected (40) according to global semantic distance (42). A final stage of statistical analysis (50) of results includes means (58) to interrogate the user
