contents <p>LinkAhead is an open source research data management platform whose core functionality rests on a powerful semantic search engine. The engine exposes a purpose-built query language called CQL that resembles English, enabling both interactive exploration through a graphical user interface and programmatic access in automated workflows. Despite its intuitive design, mastering the query syntax, particularly for complex, multi-hop traversals of LinkAhead’s graph-structured metadata (e.g., reference and link queries), remains a barrier for non-technical users and hampers broader adoption.<br>To lower this barrier, we have developed a dedicated query interface powered by a custom-trained Large Language Model (LLM). The model is fine-tuned exclusively on a corpus of LinkAhead query pairs, consisting of a natural language description and a formal query. The system turns questions that users enter into LinkAhead into searches, handling both easy lookups and complex connections, without users needing to learn the query language.<br>In this presentation, we will describe the prototype’s design and present preliminary validation results that assess the model’s quality.</p> <p>This event was part of the Data Days Lower Saxony 2025 - Virtual Theme Day. </p> <p>The event is organized by the Lower Saxony Research Data Management Initiative (FDM-NDS).
