We are presenting an approach to calculating the semantic similarity of documents written in the same or in different languages. The similarity calculation is achieved by representing the document contents in a language-independent way, using the descriptor terms of the multilingual thesaurus EUROVOC, and by then calculating the distance between these representations. While EUROVOC is a carefully handcrafted knowledge structure, our procedure uses statistical techniques. The method was applied to a collection of 5990 English and Spanish parallel texts and evaluated by measuring the number of times the translation of a given document was identified as the most similar document. The good results showed the feasibility and usefulness of the approach.
