System and method of query paraphrasing

A platform-independent process for data retrieval from ontology-oriented data systems over computer networks through a flexible system and method of query paraphrasing. The present invention uses a “common ontology” that is not tied to any particular data system. Thus, each client computer issues queries to a target data system in the common ontology. Of course, the target data system will not be able to directly process the query (as it is not in its local ontology). Instead, the query is first paraphrased back from the common ontology into local ontology by taking the semantic query, passing it through a query paraphraser, and then sending the paraphrased query to the data system. Once it is paraphrased successfully, the target data system can process it and produce a result using local ontology. The result may then be sent from the data system to an answer paraphraser for paraphrasing, and the paraphrased answer may be returned to its original query issuer and on to the client.

Method and system for implementing a global ecosystem of interrelated services

The present invention is directed to a method and management service platform for implementing a global ecosystem of interrelated services. The service platform is comprised of three distinct layers: a physical machine layer; a virtual machine layer and a layer of interrelated services. The physical machine layer may be deployed on large numbers of small generic servers in many geographic locations distributed for enterprise use. Associated with one or more servers are particular resources managed by that particular server. Any server in any geographic location can process any service needed by any client in any other geographic area. The operating system of each physical server is not used directly in the operating environment, but instead, each server runs a platform-independent programming language virtual machine on top of the operating system—this is the virtual machine layer. Services are location independent processing entities that are managed dynamically, configured dynamically, load their code remotely, and found and communicated with dynamically. A generic service container is a CPU process into which arbitrary software services may be homed to a host server at runtime. Thus, a virtual machine layer is an interface layer of service which supports the layer of interrelated srvices rather than the operating system of the physical machines.
