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.

A diagrammatic reasoning system for the description logic ALC
Diagrammatic reasoning is a tradition of visual logic that allows sentences that are equivalent to first order logic to be written in a visual or structural form: usually for improved usability. A calculus for the diagram can then be defined that allows ...
A novel similarity/dissimilarity measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets and its application in pattern recognition
Among the most interesting measures in intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) theory, the similarity measure is an essential tool to compare and determine degree of similarity between IFSs. Although there exist many similarity measures for IFSs, most of them ...
ALC + T: a Preferential Extension of Description Logics
Advances in Computational Logic (CIL C08)We extend the Description Logic ALC with a "typicality" operator T that allows us to reason about the prototypical properties and inheritance with exceptions. The resulting logic is called ALC + T. The typicality operator is intended to select the "most ...
