Ontology evolution is a complex problem. In our work, we focus on issues related to change management, particularly consistency maintenance and we present in this paper, an overview of Change Management Patterns (CMP) that we have defined to model the three dimensions change, inconsistency and resolution alternative. Modelling these patterns and the links between them, helps to propose an autom...
