In the field of information system (IS) design and modeling the topic of integrating different views and schemata to a common conceptual schema is a central issue. Integration of two schemata means that they are compared, conflicts between them are identified and resolved, and finally the schemata are merged. Integration is often based on a global ontology that provides the valid concepts and interdependencies of a domain. In this paper we adapt the definition of ontology [8]: “An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization.”. Traditional integration techniques are often based on concept name comparison which even more motivates the use of an ontology as a domain lexicon.
