Abstract

A method performed by a first communication device, for identifying at least one second communication device each second communication device providing a respective semantic representation. The first communication device and a number of second communication devices operate in a communications network. The first communication device decides (201) a target semantic representation and decides (202) a threshold related to a tolerated semantic distance between a semantic representation and the target semantic representation. The first communication device sends (203) to one or more network devices in the communications network, a request for any one or more second communication devices out of the number of second communication devices, providing a semantic representation having a semantic distance below the decided threshold. The first communication device then receives (204) from any of the one or more network devices a message identifying at least one second communication device providing a semantic representation according to the request.
