Application ID: 14271014

Base Claim:
1. A method for retrieving information, the method comprising: parsing, by an information retrieval management computing device, a received query to identify a subject of interest; determining, by the information retrieval management computing device, when the identified subject of interest has been identified by the parsing; determining, by the information retrieval management computing device, when the identified subject of interest in the received query maps to one of one or more ontology entities when the identified subject of interest has been determined to be identified by the parsing; identifying, by the information retrieval management computing device, when the identified subject of interest is one of one or more existing subjects of interest when the identified subject of interest is determined to map to one of the ontology entities; storing associated with the identified subject of interest, by the information retrieval management computing device, one or more filters comprising: one or more new property conditions in the received query, one or more ontology property conditions associated with the mapped one of the ontology entities, and one or more existing property conditions associated with the one of the one or more existing subjects of interest when the identified subject of interest is identified as one of the existing subjects of interest; or the one or more new property conditions and the one or more ontology property conditions when the identified subject of interest is not identified as one of the existing subjects of interest; automatically building, by the information retrieval management computing device, an updated query based on the stored one or more filters; and retrieving and providing, by the information retrieval management computing device, one or more results based on the automatically built updated query.

Claim 2:
2. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising: obtaining, by the information retrieval management computing device, an enterprise profile of a user associated with the received query when the identified subject of interest is not identified as one of the existing subjects of interest; and identifying, by the information retrieval management computing device, one or more additional property conditions based on the obtained enterprise profile of the user; wherein the storing further comprises storing, by the information retrieval management computing device, the one or more filters further comprising the identified one or more additional property conditions.
