Abstract

A method and system for providing flexible sentences are disclosed. The system includes a developer interface for providing options to define actor, edge, target and aggregation of a flexible sentence syntax. In one embodiment, tokens are provided to define property expressions of the edge and/or target of the flexible sentence syntax. Based on the defined edge and target, the developer interface may generate a plurality of flexible sentence syntaxes for a developer to select. In some embodiments, the developer can add additional property expressions to further define the edge and/or target of the flexible sentence syntax. In some instances, the plurality of flexible sentence syntaxes may be prioritized based on a percentage coverage, which is determined by the impressions received over a given time frame.
