Catch-Phrase Documentation (v 1.0.25)

Welcome to Catch-Phrase, an exciting new way to search and modify SQL databases via typed and click-built natural language questions and commands.

The documentation for Catch-Phrase is spread over three documents:

  1. The Admin's Guide is for administrators who build and maintain NLIs (Natural Language Interfaces) to databases and for developers who integrate arbitrary applications with NLIs via REST API calls.
  2. The Format Manual is for administrators who seek a full understanding of the underlying XML formats of Catch-Phrase. Catch-Phrase seeks full interoperability with all external tools by being based completely on this fully documented XML format.
  3. The User's Handbook is for non-technical users who want to search and update databases via Catch-Phrase's NLI.
