SimPack
The SimPack project provides a number of measures on different data models. It is published by the IFI (Institut für Informatik) of Zürich, Switzerland. The original project site can be found here:
Accessors
The SimPack data model differs from the ontology based model of the PhaseLibs in the following way: A SimPack measure instance can only measure the distance of two single entities. A certain aspect of these entities is then accessed by providing appropriate Accessor instances upon initialisation. Thus, a SimPack measure cannot be reused for other entities nor other aspects of the same entities - a new measure would have to be instantiated.
There are 4 different types of accessors:
- strings or sequences of strings
- feature vectors
- graphs
- information theory based
