In order to solve the problem of how to collaborate with foreign agents and ontologies, a restricted clustering integration approach is proposed. It differs from the traditional approaches in which web ontology language （OWL） is extended by adding some new collaborative interfaces （ i. e., agent-link and ontology-link） to it instead of owl： import. Syntaxes of the interface for foreign ontologies and foreign agents, respectively, and a meta-method of clustering integrated collaboration are discussed. The approach focuses on taking advantage of OWL itself to solve the collaborative problems, and it is feasible to track the contexts of newadded knowledge concerning ontological collaboration.
In order to solve the semantic irreconcilable problems caused by contextual differences during the process of ontology integration, a context-driven reconciliation mechanism is proposed. The mechanism is based on the previous work about a context-based formalism-Context-SHOIQ （D ＋ ） DL, which is used for explicitly representing context of ontology by adopting the description logic and the category theory. The formalism is extended by adding four migration rules （InclusionRule, SelectionRule, PreferenceRule, and MappingRule）, that are used to specify what should be imported into the IntegrativeContext, and three related contextual integration operations of increasing interoperability （import, partial reconciliation, and full reconciliation）. While not exhaustive, the mechanism is sufficient for solving the five types of semantic irreconcilable problems that are discussed, and favors integration of ontologies from one context to another.
