Abstract

A profile describes a set of skills a person may have or a set of skills required for a particular job. Profile matching aims to determine how well a given profile fits to a requested profile. The research reported in this paper starts from exact matching measure of [21]. It is extended then by matching filters in ontology hierarchies, since profiles naturally determine filters in the subsumption relation. Next we take into consideration similarities between different skills that are not related by the subsumption relation. Finally, a totally different approach, probabilistic matching based on the maximum entropy model is analyzed.

The research reported in this paper has been [partly] supported by the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology, the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy, and the Province of Upper Austria in the frame of the COMET center SCCH.
