Abstract
Up to now, there are few detailed proposals for the cooperative (and distributed) construction of ontologies (cf. [2]). The problem of how to establish a consensus and a shared conceptualization, especially when dealing with contradictory knowledge and conflicting interests has hardly been dealt with. We propose and evaluate a three-phased knowledge mediation procedure which is especially conceived to integrate different perspectives and information needs into one consensual ontology.
