Abstract

This work presents a dissimilarity measure for Description Logics that are the theoretical counterpart of the standard representations for ontological knowledge. The focus is on the definition of a dissimilarity measure for ALC concept descriptions, based both on the syntax and on the semantics of the descriptions. An extension of the measure is proposed for involving individuals and then for evaluating their dissimilarity.
