Abstract

In Description Logics (DLs), concept similarity measure aims at identifying a degree of commonality of two given concepts and is often regarded as a generalization of the classical reasoning problem of equivalence. That is, any two concepts are equivalent if and only if their similarity degree is one. When two concepts are not equivalent, the level of similarity varies depending not only on the objective factors (e.g. the structure of concept descriptions) but also on the subjective factors (i.e. the agent’s preferences). Realistic ontologies are generally complex. Methodologies for tuning a measure to conform with the agent’s preferences should be practical, i.e. it is doable in practice. In this work, we investigate and formalize the task of tuning the preference functions based on the information defined in a TBox and an ABox. We also show how the proposed approaches can be reconciled with the measure sim π, i.e. a concept similarity measure under preference profile for DL ELH . Finally, the paper relates the approach to others and discusses future direction.
