1. A system for extracting ontological information from a body of text, said system comprising: an input module configured to receive a verb phrase; a parsing module configured to parse one or more sentences from the body of text into parse tree format, thereby generating a set of parsed sentences; a named-entity-recognition module configured to: identify a subset of parsed sentences from the set of parsed sentences based at least partially on the occurrence of the verb phrase within at least one parsed sentence of the set of parsed sentences; identify a subset of noun phrases from the subset of parsed sentences based at least partially on grammatical relationship of each noun phrase of the subset of parsed sentences to the verb phrase; classify a first noun phrase in the subset of noun phrases as an entity, thereby defining a first entity; and classify a second noun phrase in the subset of noun phrases as a property, thereby defining a first property; and a concept-extraction module configured to identify and output a conceptual relationship between the first entity and the first property based at least partially on grammatical relationship of the first entity and the first property within a first sentence, the output being to a display device for viewing by a user.

The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said named-entity-recognition module further configured to classify a second noun phrase as a first property based at least partially on grammatical relationship of the second noun phrase to one or more prepositions within a second sentence.
