Abstract

To extract information from a database, it is necessary to formulate queries in terms of the language used by the database, such as Structured Query Language (SQL). However, non-expert users who are not computer skills are unable to write such requests. To address this problem, several solutions are proposed. One of these solutions is to use the natural language that represents the ordinary means of obtaining information. Yet, without any help, computers cannot understand this language. This is why it is very important to develop an intelligent interface capable of translating users queries from natural language to queries in database query language. In this paper, we present a generic French language interface for the XML database. In this paper, we present a generic French language interface for the XML database. The proposed interface translates French language query potentially after reformulation, into an XPath expression that can be evaluated against an XML database. The advantage of this system is that it functions independently of the database domain and automatically improve its knowledge base through experience.
