Abstract

Some familiar justifications for concluding that a data element D is an unacceptable match to a pattern element P are examined for their suitability for partial-matching applications. All of these absolute criteria are found to be unacceptable in that they rule out some plausible partial matches. A partial matching program, RELAX, is described which justifies the conclusion that a data element Ra is an unacceptable match to a pattern element P on the grounds that some other data element Rb is-a better match to f· The use of such relative criteria makes it possible to compute all of the kinds of mappings that Kling [ 9] has claimed are required to account for intuitions about similarity. The ability to form unrestrictive mappings allows RELAX to construct generalizations that have eluded other approaches [ 5' 6 ].
