The detection and evaluation of semantically similar entities in measurement projects is a key asset for real-time decision making because it allows reusing their knowledge and previous experiences. In this way, the objective of this work is to map the thematic area of data stream processing to identify the topics that have been investigated in the detection of semantically similar entities. From the methodological point of view, a systematic mapping study was conducted obtaining 2122 articles. Thus, 111 were kept refining the search strategy, and 25 were considered once the filters were applied jointly with the inclusion/exclusion criteria. After reading the 25 documents, just 6 were pertinent and allowed answering the research questions aligned with the research objective. The semantic similarity applied to entities under monitoring in the measurement and evaluation projects is a challenge. Real-time decision making depends on the obtained measures, the monitored entity, and the context in which it is immersed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
