Abstract

Ontology integration is the task of combining a set of ontologies into a single ontology. Such ontology should contain all the knowledge expressed in the partial ontologies, without all the potential conflicts between them being resolved. In the literature, one may find several approaches to this problem, however, to the best of our knowledge most of them assume that the input ontologies remain static in time, therefore there is no risk of the outcome of integration becoming stale. If one of the partial ontologies changes over time (evolve) then the outcome of its integration may become obsolete. Therefore, a necessity of performing ontology integration once again appears. However, such a procedure may be very time and resource consuming. In this paper, we propose a solution for this issue. We claim that it is possible to update the integrated ontology based solely on a description of changes applied to the input ontologies, acquiring a similar quality as if the ontology integration be conducted from scratch.
