The paper "Measuring Similarity between Ontologies" by Alexander Maedche and Steffen Staab addresses the challenges of measuring the similarity between ontologies, which are crucial for knowledge-intensive applications. As ontologies become more prevalent, users often need to extend, adapt, or compare their core ontologies with a vast array of others. The authors propose a set of measures to capture the similarity of ontologies at both the lexical and conceptual levels. These measures aim to assess how well one ontology specification is covered by another. The paper also includes an empirical evaluation involving five subjects, four novices, and one expert, who modeled ontologies in three different phases using domain texts. The evaluation provides practical insights and results, contributing to a comprehensive methodological inventory for measuring ontology similarity. The authors define a simple concept language and outline the steps to formally specify the ontology structure and its semantic, setting the foundation for their proposed measures.The paper "Measuring Similarity between Ontologies" by Alexander Maedche and Steffen Staab addresses the challenges of measuring the similarity between ontologies, which are crucial for knowledge-intensive applications.
