Using Distributional Semantics to Search Vocabularies on the Linked Data Web

André Freitas presented at the 27th ACM Symposium On Applied Computing a work which describes the use of  distributional semantics as an approach to search for concepts in vocabularies on the Linked Data Web. Users today have a hard time trying to find the right concept to express their needs when trying to reuse existing vocabularies. The proposed approach abstract users from the terms which were used in the vocabulary, semantically matching the terms expressed in the query with the terms expressed in the vocabularies.
