SEMANTIC PROCESSOR FOR RECOGNITION OF WHOLE-PART RELATIONS IN NATURAL LANGUAGE DOCUMENTS

A semantic processor and method for automatically recognizing Whole-Part relations in at least one natural language electronic or digital document recognizes one or more expanded Subject-Action-Object (eSAO) sets in text, wherein each eSAO set has one or more eSAO components; matches the one or more eSAO sets against Whole-Part relationship patterns, and generates one or more eSAO Whole-Part relations based on the matching, wherein the eSAO Whole-Part relation comprises a Whole eSAO and an Part eSAO.
