In natural language processing, semantic document exchange ensures unambiguity and shares the same meaning for documents sender and receiver cross different natural languages (e.g., English to Chinese), this difference makes the translation between natural languages becomes complex and inaccurate. This paper proposed a novel framework of Context-Free Machine Universal Grammar which consists of local mode (sender and receiver) and mediation mode (Machine Universal Language) based on the concept of collaboration, the framework improves semantic unambiguity and accuracy in crossing language document, meanwhile makes document computer-readable through unique ID for each word or phrase. More importantly, inspired by grammatical case in linguistics, a novel Machine Universal Grammar provides a universal grammar that accepts all coming languages and improves semantic accuracy in natural language processing.
