Abstract
A method to extend ontologies with the assistance of automated reasoning systems and preserving a kind of completeness with respect to their associate conceptualizations is presented. The use of such systems makes feasible the ontological insertion of new concepts, but it is necessary to re-interpret the older ones with respect to new ontological commitments. We illustrate the method extending a well-known ontology about spatial relationships, the called Region Connection Calculus.
