Comparing Natural Language Documents: a DL Based Approach

We propose a method to compare semantically two natural language texts. The process is realized in two steps, the first translates the texts into description logics terminologies. The second computes the difference between the terminologies obtained. We show how the best covering problem can be used to compute the difference between two terminologies and propose a method to calculate this difference.
