According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, a solution for semantic parsing of the natural language query is provided. In this solution, a first natural language query for a first data table is received, where the first natural language query comprises words. A first set of knowledge representations associated with the first data table are obtained and the first set of knowledge representations describe, in a structured manner, knowledge required for understanding a natural language query for the first data table. The first natural language query is converted into a first sequence of symbols. A first computer-executable query corresponding to the first natural language query is generated. According to this solution, various kinds of knowledge representations from different fields can be represented into universal structured knowledge representations, such that the knowledge representations are used to assist in understanding semantics of natural language queries and generating corresponding computer-executable queries.
