Abstract
In this paper, firstly we put forward an AO framework of autonomous ontology, by which a language entity in an ontology is interpreted locally, nevertheless the semantic cooperation is still keeping. Different from various of works based on DDL (Distribute Description Logic [1]), AO framework depends on semantic binding instead of domain-relation to set up relationship between different ontologies so that it avoids damaging the autonomy of each local ontology. Secondly we formalize the basic operations among ontologies, say free-access operation, importing operation, and mapping operation in the AO framework, and give out the proper semantics of them.
