This paper concerns the motivation for and subsequently the analysis of proposed additions, in the form of new operators, to a concept language Ontolog for use in querying a content-based text retrieval system. The expressiveness of the proposed query language introduces the possibility for querying both objects in the base but also mechanisms for direct querying of the ontology, and it furthermore enables the enduser to tailor the evaluation principle of the system by influencing query expansion in the ontology.
