Abstract

There has been notable growth in the use of ontologies in knowledge management. This occurs because, with the use of ontologies, knowledge is shared and reuse efficiently and clearly among all the resources, such as a person or an application. However, for the ontologies to establish confidence within an extremely competitive and flexible market, they must be created in a way that is swift and has high credibility, portability and scalability. However, there is a noted lack of tools to aid knowledge specialists in the activities of construction of a new ontology. For this purpose, this article presents a tool that enables the performance of concept research in the knowledge entities represented in an ontology, through the import of multiple ontologies. As a result, knowledge can be exported into a brand new ontology. Thus, based on the knowledge reuse, with the aim of extending an ontology so as to make it adequate to its application.
