Overview
A natural language interface is always desirable for question answering and information retrieval systems (Ogden and Bernick 1997). Using a controlled language for the interface could ease the problem but still tights users to a restricted grammar (Nyberg and Mitamura 1996; Nelken and Francez 2000). Although performance of machine natural language understanding for the general case appears to be saturated after many years of research, limiting the domain of discourse to only questions and querying phrases can make a difference.
