Such ontology, that we call multi-viewpoint ontology, confers to the same universe of discourse, several partial descriptions, where each one is relative to a particular viewpoint. In addition, these partial descriptions share at global level, ontological elements constituent a consensus between the various viewpoints. In order to provide response elements to this problem we define a multi-viewpoints knowledge model based on viewpoint and ontology notions. The multi-viewpoints knowledge model is used to formalize the multi-viewpoints ontology in description logics language.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {12}, year = {2016}, pages = {2111 - 2116}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10006209}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/120}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 120, 2016}, }
