Support for ontology evolution becomes extremely
important in distributed development and use of ontologies.
Information about change can be represented
in many different ways. We describe these
different representations and propose a framework
that integrates them. We show how different representations
in the framework are related by describing
some techniques and heuristics that supplement
information in one representation with information
from other representations. We present an ontology
of change operations, which is the kernel of
our framework.
