Method for Performing Graph Query Operations within a Cognitive Environment

1 . A method for providing cognitive insights via a cognitive information processing system environment, the cognitive information processing system environment comprising a cognitive inference and learning system executing on a hardware processor of an information processing system, the cognitive inference and learning system comprising a cognitive platform, the method comprising:

receiving data from a plurality of data sources, the plurality of data sources comprising at least one of a social data source stored in a social data repository, public data source stored in a public data repository, licensed data source stored in a licensed data repository and proprietary data source stored in a proprietary data repository;

performing cognitive computing operations via the cognitive inference and learning system, the cognitive computing operations comprising at least one of performing a spatial navigation operation, a machine vision operation and a pattern recognition operation on at least some of the data from the plurality of data sources;

receiving and processing queries via the cognitive platform; and,

bridging the queries into a cognitive graph, the cognitive graph being derived from the plurality of data sources, the cognitive graph enabling the cognitive inference and learning system to render cognitive insights.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

supporting natural language queries.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

converting processed queries into a cognitive graph form, the cognitive graph form enabling querying of a target cognitive graph.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

bridging a translated query to a cognitive graph and providing domain-specific responses.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

interpreting requests and user context and mapping the requests and user context to an appropriate node and line within the cognitive graph.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of data sources comprise platform data; and,

the enrichment agent communicates with the platform data.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein

the platform data comprises a plurality of data sets; and,

the bridging agent communicates with the plurality of datasets within the platform data.
