We present here an approach for dynamic ontology integration for a multi-agent environment, in which each agent holds the ontologies of its acquaintances (i.e., other agents of its interest) as the integrated partial global ontology, which is essential to interpret the local schemas for inter-agent operations. This integration has to be carried out whenever a new acquaintance is added or when the local ontology of an acquaintance changes. The approach described is general (i.e., independent of any particular thesaurus) and it carries out the integration automatically except for minimal unavoidable human inputs to resolve semantic conflicts if discovered in the process.

The paper presents a general architecture for a P2P data sharing facility within a multi-agent framework, where peers as autonomous high-level nodal agents cooperate with each other to solve global tasks. A node may have several lower level local agents including local databases and partial global ontologies. In addition there are also minder agents coordinating the activities of the peers that offer the same type of service, thus providing fault-tolerance. The ability of this architecture in data and task sharing has been demonstrated by considering query processing and directory update strategies.
