Authors	R. Bartolini, C. Caracciolo, E. Giovannetti, A. Lenci, S. Marchi, V. Pirrelli, C. Renso, L. Spinsanti
Abstract	In this paper we present an original approach to natural language query interpretation which has been implemented withinthe FuLL (Fuzzy Logic and Language) Italian project of BC S.r.l. In particular, we discuss here the creation of linguisticand ontological resources, together with the exploitation of existing ones, for natural language-driven database access andretrieval. Both the database and the queries we experiment with are Italian, but the methodology we broach naturally extends to other languages.
