Method and system for extracting contextual information from a knowledge base

This disclosure relates generally to method and system for extracting contextual information from a knowledge base. The method receives a user query comprising a request to extract contextual information from the user query. Further, the user query is analyzed based on a plurality of predefined parameters to determine sufficiency of information comprised in the user query. The received user query identifies relevant sources of the structured data, the unstructured data or the semi-structured data storage repositories. The user query is processed using a fine grain approach, where a dictionary of one or more keywords with weights are created through the domain ontology builder from the one or more knowledge articles. Furthermore, an appropriate contextual information related to the user query is extracted using the fine grain approach, based on the knowledge articles associated with the trained knowledge base comprising information required by the user query extracted from the knowledge articles.
