In order to share formal semantic among aviation information systems, this paper proposes a method for constructing common semantic platform(SP4IAIS), on which the interfaces of aviation information systems and message be transmitted between them can be interpreted under unified ontology. Firstly, by comparing structure of concept definition with normal form deriving from different ontologies, plenty of term pairs satisfying inclusion relation can be extracted from Descartes set of terms set of distributed ontologies. Then according to those terms pair, a concept lattice is built to represent the fused ontology as the shareable semantic platform. Compared with existing methods, SP4IAIS is a platform with full formal semantic, so can facilitate to composition and communication of aviation information systems automatically. Furthermore, the integrated semantic environment builds a foundation for mining relations among these distributed aviation information systems so as to analyses the reasons of flights delay and optimize the airline management.
