Interface SMCollectionIsolatedMapping

All Superinterfaces:
SimilarityMeasure, SMCollection
All Known Implementing Classes:
SMCollectionIsolatedMappingImpl

public interface SMCollectionIsolatedMapping extends SMCollection

General

This similarity measure computes the similarity of two CollectionClasses by taking the similarity of the elements into account. It always computes the the similarity of one queryObject to the best matching case element and reports the average of these similarities.

In collections it can be necessary to select another SimilarityMeasure for the elements. Therefore, the method SMCollection.setSimilarityToUse(String) is provided to define the similarity measure that should be used for the similarity computation of the elements. If the give similarity measure name is not in the SimilarityModel or no similarity measure name is defined, the default similarity measure will used.
