Semantic Query Validation in Guided-Based Systems: Assuring the Construction of Queries that Make Sense

Semantic search importance is growing each day as millions of people around the world need to obtain objective and concrete information. Guided-based systems are an alternative to natural language systems regarding the query construction method. However, current guided-based systems perform query validation only at a syntactical level. In this paper we address the semantic validation of queries in order to avoid redundancy and incoherency, therefore preventing the formulation of queries that do not make sense.
