ABSTRACT:
A method, system and article of manufacture for data processing in databases and, more particularly, for providing natural language support in a database environment. One embodiment provides a method of providing natural language support for users running queries against a database. The method comprises providing a data abstraction model comprising a plurality of logical fields abstractly describing physical data residing in the database, and associating the data abstraction model with a language resource component defining a natural language expression for each of the plurality of logical fields.
