Multilingual Expert Search using Linked Open Data as Interlingual Representation

Abstract. Most Information Retrieval models take documents as Bagof-Words and are thereby bound to the language of the documents. In this paper, we present an approach using Linked Open Data resources, i.e. URIs, as interlingual document representations. Documents and queries are summarized by the resources they contain. We show the applicability of our approach for multilingual retrieval with a case study on expert search.
