Abstract
An approach is provided in which a knowledge manager analyzes parent/child hierarchies between semi-structured items included in a semi-structured resource. The knowledge manager generates synthetic events based upon the parent/child hierarchy analysis and creates a structured resource utilizing the synthetic events. In one embodiment, the structured resource includes structured resource entries, which include a first semi-structured item, a second semi-structured item, and one of the synthetic events. In turn, the knowledge manager queries the structured resource based upon a question received from a user interface.
