Table 7. Extensional similarity calculation for classes a:Male and b:Writer.

(a) matrix of similarity values for instances in previous iteration ; (b) correspondences derived by the entity set similarity calculation. The resulting extensional class similarity sRk(a:Male,b:Writer) = 0.171. Note the reduction effect due to the existence of a third individual in ontology b:.
