Abstract
Term ambiguity is resolved by referencing a terminology database. An input is received comprising the term designated as ambiguous, and a string including the term. The term is posed as a query to the terminology database containing metadata of at least one type. Query results are returned including at least two possible meanings. Sequence(s) are extracted from the query results, each sequence including at least two pieces of metadata of a same type—one for each possible meaning of the ambiguous term. The metadata of each entry of a sequence is compared with the query result and corresponding scores are calculated. The scores are compared to determine a final meaning of the ambiguous term. Simpler embodiments considering one type of metadata (one sequence), may calculate and compare a listing of scores. Complex embodiments considering more than one type of metadata (multiple sequences), may calculate and compare a matrix of scores.
