Abstract
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.
