12. A data processing system, comprising: at least one data processor coupled with at least one memory that stores computer software, where execution of the computer software by the at least one data processor results in the system performing operations that comprise, parsing input from a requestor comprised of at least one of a user and a software application, the input comprising at least one of a query or a command, expressed in a natural human language, that is parsed using action extractors and named entity extractors into a structured stream query language query comprising an indication of at least one data stream or set of data streams and at least one action to be performed on the at least one data stream or set of data streams; mapping the structured stream query language query into a graph of processing elements that are selected and interconnected so as to execute the structured stream query language query comprising at least one action and at least one named entity; instantiating the graph of processing elements and connecting and initializing the instantiated graph of processing elements with an identified at least one data stream or set of data streams to receive data from the identified at least one data stream or set of data streams; and outputting a result of the structured stream query language query to the requestor.

The data processing system of claim 12 , where the result comprises an identifier of at least one data stream.
