Comparison between Ontology Distances (Preliminary Results)

Presented at: 7th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2008)

by Jérôme David, Jerome Euzenat

There are many reasons for measuring a distance between ontologies. In particular, it is useful to know quickly if two ontologies are close or remote before deciding to match them. To that extent, a distance between ontologies must be quickly computable. We present constraints applying to such measures and several possible ontology distances. Then we evaluate experimentaly some of them in order to assess their accuracy and speed.
