Extensible automatic query language generator for semantic data

A system for querying a semantic data set defined by an ontology that represents a graphical relationship among data included in the semantic data set, the system comprising:

• a computing system comprising:
• a processor;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor that, when executed, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
• receiving one or more keywords associated with a search operation from a user;
• identifying a node associated with each of the one or more keywords;
• identifying a lowest common ancestor of all the nodes corresponding to user-provided keywords;
• constructing a subgraph connecting each identified node to the lowest common ancestor;
• and
• traversing the subgraph to generate a query in the query language executable against the semantic data set.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

• receiving one or more keywords associated with a search operation from a user;
• identifying a node associated with each of the one or more keywords;
• identifying a lowest common ancestor of all the nodes corresponding to user-provided keywords;
• constructing a subgraph connecting each identified node to the lowest common ancestor;
• and
• traversing the subgraph to generate a query in the query language executable against the semantic data set.
