The BTE system will continue to focus on autonomously answering two classes of queries – "Predict" [1] and "Explain" [2]. BTE processes these queries in three distinct phases. First, BTE performs query path planning,. The output of this phase is a query path plan – the specific sequences of Knowledge Provider APIs in the Meta-KG that can be accessed to satisfy the original query.. BTE accepts two types of queries as input. "Predict queries" seek to find relationships between one specific entity and a class of entity types. "Explain queries" seek to explain the relationship between two specific entities. Both query types can be generalized to a common query template (which in these examples asks for all the ways in which Diseases can be connected to Drugs).
