Ontology reusing has been extensively researched. Ontology connection is one of the ways which can reuse ontology that has been studied lately. Ε-connections and bridge rules are two ways of connecting ontologies. Based on these two methods, and using the ontology editor tool SWOOP, the link properties of the classes from different ontologies can be defined. Using these link properties, the multiple ontologies we are connecting can be reused effectively.
