Concept Similarity Matching Based on Semantic Distance

With the application of semantic Web service and semantic Grid service, the similarity measure between services are more and more important in the processing of service matching. By formally defining the similarity of semantic services, useful information can be obtained about their similarity and compatibility. In this paper, we propose a concept similarity matching method based on semantic distance in service matching. Uses OWL-S to descript service, the algorithm computes semantic similarity of service in four macro steps. At last, we provide an experimental comparison of our method against traditional similarity measures, and prove empirically the benefits of our approach.
