Poor information retrieval performance has often been attributed to the query-document vocabulary mismatch problem which is defined as the difficulty for human users to formulate precise natural language queries that are in line with the vocabulary of the documents deemed relevant to a specific search goal.

We formalize the application of these patterns by considering a query conceptual representation and introducing a set of operations allowing to operate modifications on the initial query.
