A novel computational approach to concept semantic similarity

The development of semantic web service depends on the ability of semantic interoperability, and ontology integration is the important means of implementing semantic interoperability, in which concept semantic similarity computation based on ontology is the key problem. In this paper, in view of the problem about the computation accuracy of semantic similarity, a novel approach to computing concept semantic similarity is proposed, in which the relation, the property and the instance between these concepts are considered synthetically. At last, this article takes two concepts in the medical field, doctor and medical practitioner, as an example to verify this method.
