Abstract

Q-TRANS, which stands for Query-TRANSlation System, translates formal database queries into English to enhance the usability of both natural and formal language database access systems. Q-TRANS is designed for the database query representation from which an English paraphrase is generated. Q-TRANS is also intended to be part of the Transformational Question Answering System (TQA system), which provides a natural language interface for database query, analyzing and ultimately translating the English queries into SQL expressions. The concepts and methods used in Q-TRANS to arrive at a query translation are, however, independent from the TQA system except for compatibility of lexical and grammatical coverage of the paraphrar.es produced. The paraphrases generated
