                               throws java.lang.Exception

Parameters:

innerFunction - the inner fct for comparing single attributes

value1 - the query's multiple value to be compared

value2 - the case's multiple value

Returns:

similarity of value1 and value2

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if something goes wrong during similarity computations
