In order to solve researchers’ problem of choosing an appropriate vocabulary to express the concept of smart within “smart”, “intelligent” and “wisdom”, this paper does some works as follows:(1)retrieving the vocabularies that are related to the concept of smart from the research paper in CNKI database. Then, this paper selects the high frequency of co-occurrence vocabularies by developing matrix relationships and using the method of similarity calculation. (2) By using parametric expression and correlation analysis model, this paper mines the vocabulary group of smart, intelligent and wisdom in Web of Science^TM, which is the counter part of the Chinese vocabulary group. After this step, a mapping network is built. (3) Based on the centralized and distributed measuring models, this study reveals the centralized and distributed features of the vocabulary groups of smart, intelligent and wisdom. The findings demonstrate that the vocabulary group of smart is distributed relatively equilibrium around the world. Meanwhile, the concentration factor is higher than other vocabulary groups in majority of countries and languages. These results indicate that using “smart” to express the concept is the mainstream in international community.
