摘要：In order to provide a highly formalized ontology merging of hierarchical information modeling for distributed management, the Extenics-based approach is introduced to formalize ontology merging of both Management Information Base (MIB) models and MIB instances. The aim of this paper is then to utilize ontology merging at the meta-schema level based on concept lattices to generate semantic models for ontology merging of MIB models using basic-elements in the form of matter-elements, and realize the formal presentation of both MIB instances for ontology merging and implicit knowledge for MIB instances with the use of the extension theory for basic-elements. The proposed Extenics-based ontology merging approach for both MIB models and MIB instances integrates with the former approach for meta-schema based on concept lattices, and aims to promote the formalization level of hierarchical information modeling for distributed management in a unified ontology-driven manner.
