    public interface SMOntologyFbMS
    extends SMOntology
    Calculates the similarity between query and case based on the equal and different features of the query and case entity in an ontology. Features are determined by the ancestors in the Ontology. Relations that should be used to collect the ancestors have to be defined in the InstancePredicate. The similarity is calculated by the function of Maedche and Staab.

    It is also possible to calculate a similarity between to sets of objects without determining the ancestors, using Set-Objects.
