This paper describes a new framework for querying the Semantic Web using a rich vocabulary. This framework consists of two mechanisms; one for building a rich vocabulary based on lexicographic semantics, and the other for evaluating queries using such a vocabulary. A vocabulary built by the former mechanism has the following two features: (a) its richness because of its expandability and (b) the lexicographic-semantic definition of its words. Query expressions using such a rich vocabulary satisfy the following two properties: (c) no need to use nested query structures, and (d) no need to use variables. In our framework, a new word, i.e., a derived word, can be defined as a character string label given to an expression that combines already defined words with operators. This expression, or phrase, works as a lexicographic definition of this derived word. Each vocabulary consists of basic words and derived words. A lexicon of a vocabulary denotes a set of lexicographic definitions of all of its derived words. Once someone defines a lexicon of a large vocabulary with all of its basic words being mapped to an ontology of the Semantic Web, users can query this Semantic Web using this vocabulary. The same lexicon can be reused for the Semantic Web that has a different ontology if all of its basic words are newly mapped to its ontology. Use of a rich vocabulary in querying a Semantic Web simplifies the query sentence structure and removes the necessity of using variables from each query, which makes it much easier for users to query the Semantic Web. This framework provides query evaluation rules based on the proposed lexicographic semantics, which guarantees that each query using such a rich vocabulary is correctly evaluated over the underlying Semantic Web.
