Abstract
When modeling expertise from multiple experts, expertise conflicts among the expertise models of the different experts must be tackled, so as to build their common expertise model. The domain level of an expertise model can be represented using Sowa's conceptual graph formalism. This paper presents a method for conflict management during knowledge modeling from multiple experts: this method is based on the comparison and integration of multiple conceptual graphs corresponding to different viewpoints, the integration being guided by different integration strategies.
