How does it work?

Suggestion of related concepts is done via DBpedia's wikiPageLinks and using DBpedia Spotlight's notion of resource relatedness. For each of the URIs you have selected in step 1, we find all concepts linked to them via DBpedia properties. We add to that any other concepts that are "topically similar" according to DBpedia Spotlight. The wikiPageLinks dataset was loaded into a Virtuoso triple store, in order to provide the "expand" functionality.
