This paper introduces to the main objectives of the OntoQuery project, with the agenda of developing theories and methodologies for content-based retrieval from text databases. Content-based retrieval is obtained through descriptions of database objects and queries derived from natural language analysis and shaped with respect to a domain specific ontology, which in turn is expressed in a formal description language. Querying is performed by comparing descriptions and, during this, reasoning with the domain knowledge expressed in the ontology. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
