An API knowledge graph construction method based on a reference document

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of software engineering and intelligent software development, and particularly relates to an API knowledge graph construction method based on a reference document. The method comprises the steps that a basic skeleton structure of an API element is obtained through document structure analysis, and function description and use mode description are recognized by automatically classifying sentences in descriptive content of the API element; performing common concept identification and linking among the description information of different API elements to realize internal knowledge fusion; and performing concept linkage between the common concept in the API element description information and the related technical concepts in the general knowledge graph to realize external knowledge fusion. The constructed API knowledge graph comprises API packets, classes, interfaces, methods, attributes, abnormalities, method parameters, return values and relations among the elements. According to the constructed API knowledge graph, intelligent applications such as API knowledge semantic query, automatic question answering, auxiliary code understanding andcode recommendation are supported through structured knowledge representation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of software engineering and intelligent software development, and in particular relates to a method for constructing an API knowledge map. Background technique [0002] Knowledge Graph was officially proposed by Google in 2012. Its original intention was to improve the capabilities of search engines and improve users' search quality and experience. The knowledge graph describes various entities, concepts and their relationships in the real world in the form of graphs, thus providing a knowledge base for information processing. There are already some large-scale general knowledge graphs, such as FreeBase, Yogo, Wikidata, etc. In the fields of finance, e-commerce, and medical care, a large number of domain knowledge graphs have also been generated to support industry applications such as fraud detection, e-commerce control, and decision-making assistance. Knowledge graphs have become one of the key technolog...

Problems solved by technology

When developers look for and understand the required API or hope to find solutions to API-related problems, they can only obtain scattered information through various channels, and cannot obtain targeted knowledge services

At the same time, relevant software development tools also lack API-related knowledge bases to provide support when completing automated tasks such as code understanding and code recommendation.
