Abstract
Multi-ontologies environments are common in semantic web and knowledge representation fields. How to represent the complex relationships between ontologies is a key problem of the multi-ontologies-based applications. For the purpose of solving the problem, this paper proposed the theory of bridge ontology to represent twelve kinds of relationships between ontologies. Subsequently, detailed discussions focused on the semi-automatic generation of bridge ontology, and two semi-automatic methods based on the ontology structure and annotation instances were studied respectively.
