Abstract
A method of providing information from at least one information resource. A semantic query is received that includes one or more generic constructs referencing an ontology relating to a domain of the information resource(s). A representation of the semantic query in an ontology representation language is inferred from the constructs. The query representation is used to access the information resource(s). This method allows a user to formulate database queries semantically without knowledge as to underlying data structures.
