Abstract

Data volume growth leads to new challenges for Natural Language Interfaces (NLI). With Big Data for example, NLI must not only be portable from one domain to another, but be operational simultaneously in several domains. The lexicon is an important resource that improves the system performance. In this paper, we propose an approach to design a lexicon centered on RDF (Resource Description Framework) triple. We argue that a triple centric lexicon is reusable. The lexicon is also extended to include operations and possible functions in which data can be involved. This allows increasing the complexity of questions a NLI can process.
