SimilarityMeasure: Stringbased

Developer: Björn Endres

Description

This module determines the similarity of two ontology entities by calculating a simple string alikeness on the labels of these entities. The PhaseLibs ontology model provides these labels with the getName() method. The algorithm is based on a 3-gram matcher by Micheal Sintek.

Characteristics

In order to demonstrate the basic characteristics of this SimilarityMeasure, here some examples:

Frame A name Frame B name Measure value
