Abstract
Merging between topic maps describes the process of integrating two topic maps into a new topic map. In this paper, we propose a specific ontology merging process for integrating two source topic maps into a new topic map based on given semantic correspondences. Also, we define a taxonomy of merging conflicts which occur during the process of topic maps merging and a method for detecting and resolving them. Our experiments show that the automatic merging module compared with manual merging by an expert has advantages in terms of time and effort.
