Abstract

Graph, an important information organizational structure, is commonly used for representing the social networks, web, and other internet applications. This paper tackles a fundamental problem on measuring similarity between graphs that is the essential step for graph searching, matching, pattern discovery. To efficiently measure the similarity between graphs, this paper pioneers a novel approach for measurement of similarity between graphs by using formal concept analysis that can clearly describe the relationships between nodes. A case study is provided for demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed approach.
