Abstract :
In this paper, we describe our efforts to build a bridge between intelligent query interfaces and natural language generation technologies. We have developed a query interface that enables users to access heterogeneous data sources by means of an integrated ontology. Currently, we are re-designing this intelligent query interface so as to render its logic-based queries in natural language, leveraging results achieved to date by applied systemic-functional linguistics
