--- Comment #3 from Daniel Kinzler <[email protected]> 2012-09-18 09:10:45 UTC --- (In reply to comment #2) > We could perhaps use "similarity"? The notion of "similarity" and/or semantic proximity of of items (topics) is very interesting and useful for information retrieval, natural language processing, etc; but I don't think that it is what we need here. Similarity is a complex beast and how it should be defined highly depends on what it is intended to be used for, so I think the notion should be defined on the application level. The equality function under consideration here is primarily used to decide whether a new version of an item is the same as the previous one, i.e. it's used to check whether an edit is a "null edit" and should thus be omitted from the page history. That's a fairly low-level and should be pretty strict. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
