Research on semantic similarity between cloud manufacturing resource and demand service ontology

Aimed to match manufacturing resource and demand service more effectively under the cloud computing environment, this paper proposed a method for calculating similarity of cloud manufacturing resource and demand service ontology. Many research examined similarity of manufacturing resource ontology, but few of study paid attention to similarity between manufacturing resource and demand service. Moreover, existed study only described the difference of manufacturing resource from the aspect of syntax and semantics, without considering service attributes of manufacturing resource. Based on these, we explored similarity between cloud manufacturing resource and demand service from the perspective of service attributes of manufacturing resource to improve the efficiency of resource and demand service matching. Empirical study has confirmed that this method are valid to calculate the total similarity of cloud manufacturing resource and demand service ontology, which constructs the basis of research on manufacturing resource and demand service matching.
