System and method for the transformation and canonicalization of semantically structured data
View Patent ↗A method of transforming and canonicalizing semantically structured data includes obtaining data from a network of computers, applying text patterns to the obtained data and placing the data in a first data file, providing a second data file containing the obtained data in a uniform format, and generating interface specific sentences from the data in the second data file.
1. A computer-implemented method for generating grammatical sentences, comprising:
storing data in a data file;
transforming, with at least one processor, the data in the data file into a uniform and semantically structured data structure format that is compatible with a plurality of interfaces; and
generating, with the at least one processor, grammatical sentences based on text patterns, wherein the grammatical sentences are compatible with the a specific canonical interface and are generated by transforming the uniform and semantically structured text patterns into an interface specific format.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the grammatical sentences are used to generate a traffic report describing a condition of the traffic.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the grammatical sentences are used to generate a voice command for input into a communication portal.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the grammatical sentences are used to generate a search query for searching a database.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying a lexical entry transformation table to transform the stored data into a common semantic form.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating the text patterns by applying attribute phrase grammars to the stored data.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating the text patterns by applying term arrangement rules.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying a lexical entry transformation table to transform the stored data to a normalized and tagged format.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uniform and semantically structured data structure format corresponds to a normalized and tagged format.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the grammatical sentences comprises:
applying attribute phrase grammars to the text patterns to create a parsed form of the data;
applying lexical entry transformation tables to the parsed form of the data to create a term substituted form of the data; and
applying term rearrangement rules to the term substituted form of the data according to the specific interface to create a rearranged form of the data.
11. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed on at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform a method comprising:
storing data in a data file;
transforming, with at least one processor, the data in the data file into a uniform and semantically structured data structure format that is compatible with a plurality of interfaces; and
generating, with the at least one processor, grammatical sentences based on text patterns, wherein the grammatical sentences are compatible with the a specific canonical interface and are generated by transforming the uniform and semantically structured text patterns into an interface specific format.
12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the grammatical sentences are used to generate a traffic report describing a condition of the traffic.
13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the grammatical sentences are used to generate a search query for searching a database.
14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the grammatical sentences are used to generate voice command for input into a communication portal.
15. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the method performed by the at least one processor further comprises:
applying a lexical entry transformation table to transform the stored data into a common semantic form.
16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the method performed by the at least one processor further comprises:
generating the text patterns based on at least one of attribute phrase grammars and term arrangement rules.
17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the method performed by the at least one processor further comprises:
applying a lexical entry transformation table to transform the obtained data to a normalized and tagged format.
18. An apparatus comprising:
a memory device storing instructions;
at least one processor executing the instructions to:
store data in a data file;
transform, with at least one processor, the data in the data file into a uniform and semantically structured data structure format that is compatible with a plurality of interfaces; and
generate, with the at least one processor, grammatical sentences based on text patterns, wherein the grammatical sentences are compatible with the a specific canonical interface and are generated by transforming the uniform and semantically structured text patterns into an interface specific format.
19. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the grammatical sentences are used to generate at least one of a traffic report describing a condition of the traffic, a search query for searching a database, and a voice command for input into a communication portal.
20. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the at least one processor applies attribute phrase grammars to the text patterns to create a parsed form of the data.
