The project ARIANE: conceptual queries to information databases.
As information databases we consider all the collections of data records indexed by key-words, stored and delivered by computer systems. In previous research works we demonstrated the interest to design a conceptual model, in the conceptual graphs formalism, and to implement a computational model for information retrieval in large information databases. These models are based on the UMLS knowledge sources. This paper reminds briefly these models and describes tests done in querying a patients database and a bibliographical database.
