A non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying a computer program for performing a method, said method comprising:

• receiving from a human language translation application, an input comprising,
• a string in a first human language, and
• an indication of an ambiguous term in the string;
• querying a terminology database of a non-transitory computer readable storage medium with the ambiguous term;
• in response to the query, receiving a query result from the terminology database;
• referencing the input to extract from the query result a first sequence comprising,
• first metadata of a first type corresponding to a data of first possible meaning, and
• second metadata of the first type corresponding to a data of a second possible meaning,
• referencing the input to extract from the query result a second sequence comprising,
• third metadata of a second type, and
• fourth metadata of the second type;
• calculating scores for the first, second, third, and fourth metadata;
• comparing the scores in a matrix to determine the data of the first possible meaning to be a final meaning;
• and
• communicating the final meaning to the human language translation application.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a software program, executable on said computer system, the software program configured to cause an in-memory database engine of an in-memory database to:
• receive an input comprising,
• a string, and
• an indication of an ambiguous term in the string;
• query a terminology database of a non-transitory computer readable storage medium with the ambiguous term;
• in response to the query, receive a query result from the terminology database;
• reference the input to extract from the query result, a first sequence comprising,
• first metadata of a first type corresponding to a data of first possible meaning,
• second metadata of the first type corresponding to a data of a second possible meaning;
• calculate a first score of the first metadata;
• calculate a second score of the second metadata;
• compare the first score to the second score to determine the data of the first possible meaning to be a final meaning;
• and
• communicate the final meaning to a recipient.
