Abstract
Network management is an area where many different technologies coexist. Several languages are used to define the information to be managed, which are specific of each management model. As a result, many specifications that describe similar resources are expressed separately. To solve this question, this paper takes advantage of the knowledge representation technique known as ontology to unify current heterogeneous information definitions from a semantic viewpoint. With this approach, management information is specified using ontology languages, including behavior constraints, and methods used to combine ontologies are applied to merge and map the concepts contained in existing management models.
