Answering Web Queries Using Structured Data Sources
Summary: Integrates structured data sources (relations, flat tables, XML) into web search results. Captures, annotates and translates user queries by extracting semantics from the query and leveraging structured stores to boost relevance (e.g., 'popular digital camera around $425' in a shopping DB).
