A review of semantic similarity approach for multiple ontologies

摘要

Measuring semantic similarity between concepts is an important step in information retrieval and information integration which requires semantic content matching. Semantic similarity has attracted great concern for a long time in artificial intelligence, psychology and cognitive science. Many methods have been proposed. This paper contains a review on the state of art approaches including structure-based approach, information content-based approach, feature-based approach and hybrid-based approach. We also discussed the similarity according to their advantages, disadvantages and issues related to multiple ontologies. Besides that, we also concentrated on methods in feature-based approach which we will be using as a mechanism to measure the similarity for multiple ontologies.
