The paper presents a methodology for development of tools for semantics oriented search in repositories of digitized manuscripts. This methodology is based on the application of some Semantic Web technologies to existing manuscript collections that may include: electronic catalogue containing marked-up manuscript descriptions, full texts of manuscripts, digital images of manuscript pages. It is directed to the development of software environments that will be able to deal with complex user queries and answer questions using ontological knowledge and dictionaries of synonyms.
