The adoption of Linked Data principles has contributed towards the creation of a Web of Data, allowing the development of applications and tools which run queries over available information. One of the main challenges for the query processing over the Web is the selection of relevant sources, i.e., sources which could contribute significantly to the result of a query. In this paper, we discuss this problem and present an approach for identifying Web sources that may potentially be relevant to the processing of a set of queries. A distinct issue of our work is that the process of searching for sources employs the user requirements expressed in SPARQL queries.
