摘　　要：本体集成(ontology integration)的目的是使异质的本体互操作,目前是本体研究的一个热点。本体集成首先发现实体间关系,生成本体映射,然后根据应用目的基于映射进行处理,最终达成本体对齐或者本体合并的目标。本文介绍了本体集成中的概念,给出本体集成的一般工程化方法。对国内外较具代表性的本体集成工具进行比较分析,讨论了现存的问题,指出了未来的研究方向。Ontology integration aims at the interoperation of heterogeneous ontologies, and is currently under hot research. To get two or more ontologies integrated, the first step is discovering and constructing ontology mappings, which settle relationships between/among different entities from different ontologies. Secondly, execute mappings according to the application. And finally ontology integration gets two of its goals, ontology alignment or ontology merging. This paper explains the terms and concepts in the above procedure, shows the regular ontology integration framework. It then analyzes several representative ontology integration tools. Based on that, it discusses the presently open problems and future research directions in this field.
