✦ Synopsis

In this article, we introduce principles for ontology-based querying of information bases. We consider a framework in which a basis ontology over atomic concepts in combination with a concept language defines a generative ontology. Concepts are assumed to be the basis for an index of the information base, in the sense that these concepts are attached to objects in the information base. Concepts are thus applied to obtain a means for descriptions that generalize classical word-based information base indexing. We discuss how the ontology influences the matching of values, especially how the different relations of the ontology may contribute to overall similarity between concepts. Further, we discuss a set of major properties to improve a given similarity measure's accordance with the semantics of the ontology, and use these properties to guide the choice of function. Finally we implement a prototype search system to evaluate the chosen approach.

This paper describes a method and a system for content-based querying of texts based on the availability of an ontology for the concepts in the text domain. A key principle in the system is the extraction of conceptual content of noun phrases into descriptors forming an integral part of the ontology
