abstract = {Following the approach of Tversky's contrast model,
similarity measures are introduced as order-preserving maps from
specific ordered sets into the non-negative reals. The analysis of this
class of functions gives rise to the definition of additive similarity
measures that induce a matroid on their domain. An explicit
representation of this matroid is given that can be used to directly
determine the additive extension of a map from the basis of the
matroid. In addition, a criteria is given to check, whether an additive
map is a similarity measure or not.},
