Editing Semantic similarity (section)

=== In geoinformatics ===
Similarity is also applied in [[geoinformatics]] to find similar [[geographic feature]]s or feature types:<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Janowicz, K.|author2=Raubal, M.|author3=Kuhn, W.|title=The semantics of similarity in geographic information retrieval|journal=Journal of Spatial Information Science|volume=2|issue=2|year=2011|pages=29–57|doi=10.5311/josis.2011.2.3|doi-access=free|hdl=20.500.11850/41298|hdl-access=free}}</ref>
