Abstract
A system for accessing information from data sources. A user domain translates queries from users and applications for recognition by an aggregation domain, receives responses from the aggregation domain, and translates the responses for recognition by the users and applications. An aggregation domain receives translated queries from the user domain, translates the queries for recognition by a data source domain, receives responses from the data source domain, translates the responses for recognition by the user domain, and transmits the translated responses to the user domain. A data source domain receives the translated queries from the aggregation domain, identifies data sources to receive the queries, translates the queries to the data sources, receives responses from the data sources, translates the responses, and transmits the translated responses to the aggregation domain. A knowledge base the domains use to automatically function includes data models and conceptual terminology translations.
