Summary: | Measuring semantic similarity between concepts is an important step in information retrieval and information integration which requires semantic content matching. Semantic similarity has attracted great concern for a long time in artificial intelligence, psychology and cognitive science. Many methods have been proposed. This paper contains a review on the state of art approaches including structure-based approach, information content-based approach, feature-based approach and hybrid-based approach. We also discussed the similarity according to their advantages, disadvantages and issues related to multiple ontologies. Besides that, we also concentrated on methods in feature-based approach which we will be using as a mechanism to measure the similarity for multiple ontologies
