Abstract
Semantic Measures (SMs) are of critical importance in multiple treatments relying on ontologies. However, the improvement and use of SMs are currently hampered by the lack of a dedicated theoretical framework and an extensive generic software solution. To meet these needs, this paper introduces a unified theoretical framework of graph-based SMs, from which we developed the open source Semantic Measures Library and toolkit, a solution that paves the way for design, computation and analysis of SMs. More information at dedicated website: http://www.semantic-measures-library.org.
