SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
Systems and Methods for information retrieval, comprising: receiving object-oriented data from multiple data sources; receiving a query from a query application that formulates the query and supplies the query to an information retrieval system; parsing the query into a graph of data nodes; processing the data nodes in the graph on the object-oriented data to generate a current object set; and returning the current object set to the query application in response to the query.
1 . A machine-implemented method of information retrieval, comprising:
receiving, at a processing device, object-oriented data from multiple data sources;
receiving a query comprising an ordered set of clause definitions each including a clause pipeline and a time constraint;
parsing the query into a graph of one or more data nodes;
processing, on an iterative basis, each data node in the graph to generate a current object set; and
returning the current object set to the query application in response to the query.
