Abstract

The goal of this article is to present an Ontology based Similarity approach for a Case Based Reasoning system to assist Mufti in the process of retrieving old Fatawa to reuse them or to generate new ones. The system allows the user to ask a question and get the case base to be searched for old Fatawa fitting with the question. The case memory contains Fatawa generated by experts in Fiqh Islamic Banking domain. The question is asked by the user in an assisted mode. The system analyzes the question not only syntactically but also semantically. An application ontology was created for this purpose. This last adds a value to the system by describing the domain knowledge and providing systematized knowledge and machine readable vocabulary of the domain. The proposed system measures similarity between situations by applying the ontology.
