We propose a disciplined approach which enhances the role and the extent of semantic reasoning in semi-automated support to knowledge sharing.We adopt a Description Logic (DL) to formalise a class-centred, enhanced entity-relationship knowledge model. In this way, we benefit from the specialised epistemological reasoning services available in DL-based inferential engines. Epistemological deductions are combined with heuristic and linguistic inferences. They are used to propose a semantic articulation of overlapping components in conceptual schemas. This approach to knowledge sharing has been implemented as a support functionality in our intelligent knowledge management environment CONCEPTOOL.
