The method further includes indexing tagged elements to an entity of the ontology. The method further includes generating a logical form of the ASR data based on the tagged elements and the indexed entities. The method further includes mapping the logical form to a query to a respective corresponding database stored in the memory. The method further includes issuing the query to the respective corresponding databases. The method further includes presenting results of the query to the user via a display or a voice response system.
