The prime motivation for our research is to enable sharing and reuse of domain knowledge through the engineering and management of ontologies. We contend that there is a need to reconcile ontologies by harmonising mismatches and discrepancies that are present among them. This is a necessary task before any stakeholders can begin to share and/or reuse the underlying knowledge (re)sources. Our key objective is to detect and resolve these mismatches in a consistent and verifiable manner. We have evaluated the state-of-the-art in ontology management tools and selected the best-in-class techniques and methods. We propose implementing a workbench that will integrate these tools and enable interoperability between them in order to facilitate the management of ontologies.
