Ontologies are the building blocks of semantic web. In recent year's further advancements in the area of semantic web has led to refinement and specialization of the existing frameworks for ontological development. These advancements include merging, alignment, unification, mapping etc. of ontologies usually belonging to similar domains. These operations are useful in their own respect but also bring along many inconsistencies in the ontological information. The removal of these inconsistencies is in itself an open horizon for researchers of semantic web and ontologies. In this paper, we review the different issues causing inconsistencies and some frameworks used for handling inconsistencies.
