Relation between the average approach and the inverse of the number of annotations per protein. Resnik's term similarity measure with the average combination approach (in red) and inverse of the number of annotations per protein (in grey) as function of sequence similarity: A - using the LRBS sequence similarity metric; B - using the RRBS metric. There is an evident parallel between the behaviour of the semantic similarity results and the distribution of the inverse of the number of annotations per protein, which becomes more evident for high sequence similarity values. This parallel reflects the inverse proportionality relationship between the average combination approach and the number of annotations per protein.
