Research in the ontology engineering field is becoming increasingly important, especially in the area of knowledge sharing. Many research efforts aim to reuse and integrate ontologies that have already been developed for different purposes. This gives rise to the need for suitable architectures for knowledge sharing. This paper analyses a specific aspect of knowledge sharing; that is the integration of ontologies in a way such that different inheritance mechanisms within the ontology are supported, and focuses on conflicts due to multiple inheritance. We first illustrate the problems that inheritance can cause within ontologies together with different approaches presented in the literature to deal with multiple inheritance conflicts and then propose a semi-automatic approach to deal with such conflicts.
