A Demonstration of a Natural Language Query Interface to an Event-Based Semantic Web Triplestore

Natural language semantic-web queries can be treated as expressions of the lambda calculus and evaluated directly with respect to an event-based triplestore using only basic triple retrieval operations. This facilitates the accommodation of complex NL constructs.
