Generally considered as a timely adaption of ontologies to the changing requirements, ontology evolution is becoming more and more crucial as ontologies being widely used in different fields, especially in the semantic web. In this paper, we intend to address the problem of multiple ontologies evolution. First we present an Automatic Ontology Evolution Strategy Selecting (AOESS) framework that could use an automatic way to conduct the evolution. Then a Minimal Change Impact algorithm is proposed to handle the dependency analyzing problem of single ontology evolution. Based on this, we present an approach of multiple ontologies evolution.
