Developer: [mailto:endres@dfki.uni-kl.de 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 [http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~sintek/ Micheal Sintek].
