We present here an approach for dynamic ontology integration for a multi-agent environment, in which each agent holds the ontologies of its acquaintances (i.e. other agents of its interest) as the integrated partial global ontology, which is essential to interpret the local schemas for interagent operations. This integration has to be carried out whenever a new acquaintance is added or when the local ontology of an acquaintance changes. The approach described is general (i.e. independent of any particular thesaurus) and it carries out the integration automatically except for minimal unavoidable human inputs to resolve semantic conflicts if discovered in the process.
