Abstract:
1. A computer readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions to: extract data model object information from data model objects in at least one semantic abstraction, wherein the data model object information includes a data model object name, a data model object identifier and a semantic abstraction identifier; extract from report data results, a report data value and data model object identifier, wherein the data model object identifier corresponds to a data model object name associated with the data model object information, and wherein the report data results are from a report with information automatically retrieved from a data source, where the information is structured in accordance with a report schema; define indexed fields including fields specifying a data model object name, a data model object identifier, a semantic abstraction identifier and a report data value; receive a search query; apply the search query against the indexed fields to define matching data model objects and matching report data values; and generate a proposed abstract query comprising at least one matching data model object and a corresponding semantic abstraction.
