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.
