Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the problem of translating keywords into SPARQL query effectively and propose a novel approach called KAT. KAT takes into account the context of each input keyword and reduces the ambiguity of input keywords by building a keyword index which contains the class information of keywords in RDF data. To explore RDF data graph efficiently, KAT builds a graph index as well. Moreover, a context aware ranking method is proposed to find the most relevant SPARQL query. Extensive experiments are conducted to show that KAT is both effective and efficient.
