Abstract
The existing ontology alignment methods have been trying to automatically obtain semantic correspondences between ontologies. However, they assume that all elements of source ontologies are written by identical languages. In this paper, we have introduced a theoretical idea for building indirect alignment between multilingual ontologies. Thereby, a novel architecture to reuse and compose alignments between ontologies has been designed. For a simple case study, we have collected two multilingual ontologies written by Korean and Swedish languages.
