Abstract
Ontology assessment is an important issue that has to be addressed during evolution process. It aims at evaluating the quality of ontology in different aspects. One of key aspects is the ontology stability. To compute the stability value of evolved ontology, we rely on a battery of semantic similarity measures especially those based on information content. These measures deal only with the subsumption relationship to compute similarity between two concepts of the same ontology. However, using only this relationship has been shown to be, very often, insufficient. To palliate such shortness, we advocate taking into account other types of relationships, that could improve the semantic relation. In this respect, we introduce a new information content based similarity measure that consider the property relationship in addition to the subsumption one. We show the advantages of this measure and how they asses stability of evolved ontology using our ontology enrichment procedure.
