Facilitating extraction and discovery of enterprise services

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for improving keyword searches, the operations comprising:

• receiving user input;
• processing, by one or more processors, the user input to provide a set of terms, the processing comprising:
• identifying one or more incoming concepts based on the user input;
• processing each of the one or more incoming concepts to identify one or more paths, each path being associated with at least one of the one or more incoming concepts;
• populating a first matrix based on the one or more paths;
• populating a second matrix based on probabilities associated with the one or more paths;
• generating a third matrix based on the first matrix and the second matrix, the third matrix comprising one or more potential concepts;
• ranking the one or more potential concepts;
• identifying one or more outgoing concepts based on the one or more potential concepts based on the ranking;
• and
• defining a second set of facts based on the one or more outgoing concepts;
• querying, by the one or more processors, a knowledge base based on each term of the set of terms to define a first set of facts, each fact of the first set of facts corresponding to a term in the set of terms and comprising instance data associated with a concept;
• selectively processing, by the one or more processors, a set of concepts selectively provided based on the user input to provide a set of ranked concepts;
• generating a query based on one or more of the first set of facts, the second set of facts and the set of ranked concepts;
• processing, using the one or more processors, the query to generate search results, the search results comprising one or more enterprise services stored in an enterprise service repository;
• and transmitting information associated with each of the one or more enterprise services for display to a user.

A system, comprising:

• a computing device;
• and
• a computer-readable storage device coupled to the computing device and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations for improving keyword searches for enterprise services, the operations comprising:

• identifying one or more incoming concepts based on the user input;
• processing each of the one or more incoming concepts to identify one or more paths, each path being associated with at least one of the one or more incoming concepts;
• populating a first matrix based on the one or more paths;
