Abstract

This paper presents an interview-based study of the definition of sequence similarity in different application areas of event-based data. The applicability of nine identified measures across these areas is investigated and discussed. The work helps highlight what are the core characteristics sought when analysing event-based data and performs a first validation of this across disciplines. The results of the study make a solid basis for follow-up evaluations of the practical applicability and usability of the similarity measures.
