ABSTRACT
Most everyone, including the experts, would agree that analogy-making is best defined as a process that creates a mapping between items in one domain (often called the source) to "similar" items in another domain (often called the target). Based on this definition, many researchers have attempted to model analogy-making by creating a mapping between two sets of data structures that represent the domains (Gentner, 1983; Holyoak and Thagard, 1989).
