Measuring Conceptual Similarity in Ontologies: How Bad is a Cheap Measure?
Tahani Alsubait, Bijan Parsia, Ulrike Sattler · 2014
Abstract. Several attempts have been made to develop similarity mea-sures for ontologies. Motivated by finding problems in existing measures, we design a new family of measures to address these problems. We carry out an empirical study to explore how good the new measures are and to investigate how likely it is to encounter specific task-oriented problems when using a bad similarity measure. 1
