Abstract

Notions of similarity and distance play an important role in informatics. Different disciplines have developed their own treatment of related measures. We consider this problem under the viewpoint of Case Based Reasoning. While distance and similarity can be considered to be formally equivalent, there exist some differences concerning their intuitive use which have impact to the composition of global measures from local ones.
