Improving Interoperability using Query Interpretation in Semantic Vector Spaces (​Link)
The aim of this paper is providing some interoperability between several ontologies for queries. However, as many of our Features also are interrelated/similar, even in the same ontology, we need a similar query expansion technique for computing Feature/Item similarity.

Context
