DISCO - plug-in for Protege 3.x

Description

This plug-in for the ontology editor Protege (version 3) allows to query DISCO word spaces directly from inside the Protege application. If you install the plug-in a new tab appears where you can select a DISCO word space and enter a query word. The semantically most similar words and the most significant collocations for the query word will be shown in a table (see the following screenshot, click figure to enlarge it).

You can find more information about the plug-in in the Protege Wiki.
