Abstract. The ontology development area has received some attention over the years. Methodologies focusing in diverse aspects of ontology development have emerged. Some of these methodologies are consolidated, presenting phases and activities. However, existing methodologies do not fully consider the ontology integration process. Therefore, based on METHONTOLOGY and a methodology for integrating ontologies we proposed an incremental and iterative process. We have used this process to develop an ontology following three iterations, which we present in this paper. Furthermore, we discuss the main features of the proposed process. 1.
