Finding a good similarity assessment algorithm for the use in ontologies is central to the functioning of techniques such as retrieval, matchmaking, clustering, data-mining, ontology translations, automatic database schema matching, and simple object comparisons. This paper assembles a catalogue of ontology based similarity measures, which are experimentally compared with a “similarity gold standard” obtained by surveying 50 human subjects. Results show that human and algorithmic similarity predications varied substantially, but could be grouped into cohesive clusters. Addressing this variance we present a personalized similarity assessment procedure, which uses a machine learning component to predict a subject’s cluster membership, providing an excellent prediction of the gold standard. We conclude by hypothesizing ontology dependent similarity measures.
