Techniques for translating queries for related concepts in a database of concepts and relationships among concepts include translating the query for related concepts into a markup language in a first document at a concept client. The database is local to a concept server. A query originates from a concept client. The first document is sent to a concept server over a network, and a second document in the markup language is received over the network from the concept server. The second document includes results based on responses from the concept server. The markup language in the second document is translated into values of the related concepts at the concept client. With these techniques, retrievals of related concepts, which involve complex transactions between a calling routine and the database, can be performed largely at the concept server, sparing the network much message traffic. Furthermore, by providing for a client-side adapter library, the developer of the concept client is spared the details of translating between the markup language used in the first and second documents and the queries and resulting values used by the client.
