Abstract
We review the use on ontologies for the integration of heterogeneous information sources. Based on an in-depth evaluation of existing approaches to this problem we discuss how ontologies are used to support the integration task. We evaluate and compare the languages used to represent the ontologies and the use of mappings between ontologies as well as to connect ontologies with information sources. We also enquire into ontology engineering methods and tools used to develop ontologies for information integration. Based on the results of our analysis we summarize the state-of-the-art in ontology-based information integration and name areas of further research activities.
