Abstract
We demonstrate a collaborative knowledge management platform in which communities representing autonomously developed information systems build ontologies to achieve semantic interoperability between those systems. The tool is called GOSPL, which stands for Grounding Ontologies with Social Processes and natural Language, and supports the method bearing the same name. Ontologies in GOSPL are hybrid, meaning that concepts are both described informally in natural language and formally. Agreements on these two levels are made simultaneously and the social interaction between and across communities drive the ontology evolution process.
