Electroweak hadron structure within a point-form approach

We present a relativistic point-form approach for the calculation of electroweak form factors of few-body bound states. As an example, the transition form factors for the semileptonic weak decay $B\to D^{\ast }e{\bar{\nu }}_e$ are discussed and it is sketched how they can be extracted unambiguously from the invariant transition amplitude that describes the process. It is shown how these form factors go over into one universal function, the Isgur-Wise function in the heavy-quark limit, $m_Q\to \mathrm{\infty }$, and comparison with the available experimental data is made.
