This work presents a dissimilarity measure for an expressive Description Logic endowed with the principal constructors employed in the standard representations for ontological knowledge. In particular, the focus is on the definition of a dissimilarity measure for the ALC description logic based both on the syntax and on the semantics of the descriptions. The measure is shown to be applicable to assess the dissimilarity for cases involving individuals.
