Abstract
An approach is provided in which a knowledge manager matches a question to multiple natural language contexts that each correspond to relations associated with entities in a structured resource. The knowledge manager identifies database queries corresponding to the multiple natural language contexts and assigns priority scores to the database queries based upon their relative specificity. In turn, the knowledge manager invokes one of the database queries based upon the assigned priority scores.
