Abstract
A method for natural language search for variables is provided. The method may include searching an index using key words from a user's natural language question and the context of the user's question. The index may reference variables and/or web service calls in a domain model. The method may also include saving documents obtained in response to the search. The method may also include mapping each of the documents as a node into an object graph. Each node may be associated with a parent node, except when the node is a root node. The method may also include identifying the root node of each document. The method may also include identifying the path of each node from the node to the node's root node. The method may also include identifying matching paths. Each matching path may provide an answer to the user's question.
