1. A method comprising:
presenting a semantic search user interface, the semantic search user interface including:
a text input portion to receive a search query;
a suggested search portion; and
a search results portion;
receiving, from a user computing device, the search query;
computing a set of semantically close concepts related to the search query using triples from a semantic ontology;
presenting the set of semantically close concepts related to the search query in the suggested search portion of the semantic search user interface;
receiving, from the user computing device, a selection of a concept in the set of semantically close concepts;
in response to receiving the selection, executing a query to a graph database to retrieve concepts semantically linked to the concept in the semantic ontology; and
presenting the concepts semantically linked to the concept in the search results portion of the semantic search user interface.
