Abstract

This paper aims to propose some new metrics to measure relationships among classes in an ontology. Relationships among classes in an OWL ontology are given by the object properties that are defined as a binary relation between classes in the domain with classes in the range. Our proposal is based on the coupling metric defined in the software engineering field adapted to an ontology needs. We have implemented and tested our metrics with real ontologies and the results are analysed and discussed.
