Abstract
Ontologies are often used to define concepts of certain application domains. Using knowledge from several different subdomains then requires the integration of the defined ontologies. Since ontology integration is a difficult task, there is a need for adequate tool support. In the ConDes project, we developed a knowledge-based support for the conceptual design phase in building engineering. Thereby the problem of ontology integration had to be solved. In this paper, we describe these tools and demonstrate how they support the integration task.
