Abstract
Recently, the development of knowledge bases is considered to be a process of extending an ontology with specific knowledge of a particular application. Reuse of pre-existing knowledge sources gives rise to knowledge bases endowed with a common and standard terminology. But, reuse often requires an enormous effort, so few knowledge-based applications have arisen following this approach. In this paper, we analyze some problems that make reuse difficult, as well as types of activities and current available resources that may contribute to improve this process.
