Aligning meaning understanding between agents using different, but close ontologies

A method for facilitating the communication between agents which have close ontologies by constructing a model of the interlocutor agent ontology is presented. The model of the interlocutor agent understanding is gradually refined based on the information exchanged between agents. We are in the situation where only the terms communicated between agents are made public and known by the other agent and concept mapping is implemented with this restriction.
