Abstract :
This paper presents a novel approach to building natural language interface to databases (NLIDB) based on Computational Paninian Grammar (CPG). It uses two distinct stages of processing, namely, syntactic processing followed by semantic processing. Syntactic processing makes the processing more general and robust. CPG is a dependency framework in which the analysis is in terms of syntactico-semantic relations. The closeness of these relations makes semantic processing easier and more accurate. It also makes the systems more portable.
