Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for an at least semiautomatic generation of a request to a data processing system with a data pool, wherein a data model, which is usable for the selection of data from the data pool using a query language, forms the basis of the data pool, wherein a user's request made in natural language, which takes place by a user input of terms (user terms) captured as a series of characters (character string), wherein the terms semantically describe the user intended results of the answer of the data processing system on the request that has to be carried out by the data processing system, is analyzed and/or interpreted, and converted into a request in the query language.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for automated harmonization of data that are present in different formats and/or of data models from various heterogeneous data sources or databases, using semantic middleware for data integration and content-oriented data analysis, wherein data from connected data sources are synchronized to the middleware, and the content of said data subjected to semantic analysis and their semantic typing and designations for attributes are harmonized as meta data, preferably such that the superordinate abstract data model of the integrated data is incrementally extended and harmonized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for acquiring at least one interrelation between at least one item of data representing at least one item of information of at least one data inventory and at least one item of data representing at least one item of information of a request for an interrelation (interrelation request) to the at least one item of data representing at least one item of information of at least one data inventory by means of a data processing system. Furthermore, a data processing system with data representing information in at least one data inventory that is accessible via at least one data source as well as a data processing device for electronic data processing comprising a control and/or computing unit, an input unit and an output unit, which are respectively configured and/or adapted for at least partially carrying out a method according to the invention are also contemplated.

Abstract: A method for acquiring an interrelation between an item of data representing an item of information of a data inventory and an item of data representing an item of information of a request for an interrelation to the item of data representing an item of information of a data inventory by means of a data processing system with data representing information in a data inventory which can be accessed via a data source comprises a link being established by means of a syntactic comparison and/or by means of one semantic comparison of the item of data representing an item of information of a data inventory with the item of data representing an item of information of the request for interrelation with the item of data representing an item of information of a data inventory. According to the method, results of requests for an interrelation are grouped according to topics.
