1. A method implemented by an information handling system that includes a memory and a processor, the method comprising: generating a plurality of synthetic events based upon analyzing a plurality of parent/child hierarchies between a plurality of semi-structured items included in a semi-structured resource, wherein each of the one or more synthetic events corresponds to at least one of the plurality of parent/child hierarchies; creating a structured resource, based upon the plurality of synthetic events, that includes a plurality of structured resource entries, wherein at least one of the plurality of structured resource entries includes a first one of the plurality of semi-structured items, a second one of the plurality of semi-structured items, and at least a selected one of the plurality of synthetic events, wherein the selected synthetic event corresponds to a third one of the plurality of semi-structured items that is a parent entry of the second semi-structured item; and querying the structured resource based upon a question received from a user interface.

The method of claim 1 wherein the semi-structured resource is selected from the group consisting of an outline, a tree structure, a spreadsheet, an HTML-formatted table, a CSV formatted file, a TSV formatted file, a wiki-markup table, an ordered list, and an unordered list.
