In this paper, we propose a methodology for managing database evolutions by exploiting two ontologies. The first ontology describes the changes occurring in a database application. The second one aims at characterizing techniques and tools useful for database change management. We propose an algorithm performing ontologies matching and its application to identify appropriate techniques and tools for a given database change.
