Abstract
This paper presents three aspects of information retrieval from large knowledge bases: the abstraction mechanisms, the modes, and the interface model. To reduce retrieval complexity, we investigate the view and viewpoint abstraction mechanisms. We consider and discuss querying and exploring as two major modes of knowledge base retrieval.
