Development of an Access Method to Linked Open Data through Converting Natural Language into SPARQL Queries

Abstract

In recent years, vast amount of knowledge in various fields is open to the public on the Web. This knowledge will be helpful for understanding the meaning of natural language if it is used in a natural language processing system. With this background, we propose a method to emphasize on making a link between the information extracted from natural language input and the knowledge. Besides, as an experiment to evaluate our proposed method, we are planning to introduce our method to service interaction at a robot cafe.
