Hi, currently the wording in commons text is a bit confusing. We have the three terms:
- distance - similarity - metric Distance and similarity seem to be just opposites of the same thing. A great distance indicates a small similarity between two character sequences. Metric feels like it's something more general, but I'm not sure. I think we should consider renaming everything to distance, since the implemented algorithms all end on *Distance. So we would change the package name from o.a.c.text.similarity to o.a.c.text.distance and the interface from StringMetric to StringDistance. WDYT?
