System and method for converting a natural language query into a logical query

This invention is a computer program designed to translate a question asked in everyday language into a structured query that a computer system can process. It works by using a collection of specialized software tools to repeatedly analyze the natural language question, identifying each word as a specific concept, a general idea, or an attribute. This parsing continues until the program has extracted all possible information from the question.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs). These modern technologies could now significantly simplify the development of the 'extensible engine' and 'specialized tools' needed for domain-independent query translation, which was a major engineering challenge in 2007.
