摘要：Semantic integration is a complex process influenced by different factors or characteristics. The problem is further complicated by the confusion concerning many issues entailed in the integration process. The present paper (a) analyzes and compares existing integration approaches through the adoption of an ontological framework and (b) describes the principal directions to perform semantic integration of geographic ontologies. In order to make the above analysis more comprehensive, a scenario is demonstrated, which involves the semantic integration of two terminological geographic ontologies. The aim of the paper is to assist the user in following the proper procedure and selecting the appropriate approach in an integration endeavour. The focus is put on semantic integration of geographic ontologies
